Things You'll Need
- Pet store rewards membership
Instructions
Register for Membership Rewards from the pet store where you purchase your pet's food. Such stores as PetSmart and Petco are nationwide chains that offer membership clubs to customers. Membership rewards entitle customers to discounts on pet food and other items in the store. Members also may receive free trials for pet food and other items in the store as well.
Go to the Purina website to register your email address for coupons and savings opportunities.
Check with your veterinarian for free samples and/or coupons. Vets often receive free samples and coupons from pet food manufacturers to encourage customers to use the products. In addition, check with your vet about purchasing damaged bags. These may be offered at a discounted price so they can be sold quickly.
Purchase the Pro Plan food in bulk. You often can purchase such specialty dog foods for less when you buy more of it. For instance, some bulk dog food suppliers offer deep discounts for the more dog food ordered. In addition, if you are purchasing Pro Plan from a retail store, be sure to buy the largest bag possible to get the cheapest price per pound of food.
Mix the Pro Plan Weight Management food with another brand of weight loss dog food. This will help defer some of the cost of purchasing the more expensive Pro Plan formula, but your dog will still be getting the essential nutrients it needs by eating some of this type of food. Be sure to choose a low-cost dog food that is also healthy and provides all the necessary nutrients your pet needs.
