New Puppy Coming! Where To Do Shopping?

[nicolatu]

Hi everyone,

I have a puppy shopping list from Dogstardaily's website. I was just wondering where can i get the cheapest stuff and food supply for my new puppy? I am considering getting a playpen, crate, some toys(chew toys, fluffy toys & Kong), Doggy toilet(with fake grass preferred), Water & Food bowl, collar, leash and Lead. My breeder just gave me a food list so i could purchase them myself: Coprice puppy dry, edible chewies and dried liver. I would prefer not to buy from Pet Paradise knowing that they get puppies from BYBers so any other shops is fine for me.

Thanks in advance.

The cheapest playpen is a Bunnings wire compost bin at around $26. Deals Direct has a heap of stuff and they are pretty cheap. There are also quite a few businesses that advertise on here.

Thanks for the advice!

Hi Nicola, you might want to change the title of your topic so people don't think you are shopping for a new dog on line.

Good luck with your shopping.

http://www.pricelesspets.com.au/ is the cheapest place I have found to buy my monthly heartworm treatment

I do all my shopping either at Pet Barn or Deals Direct, I refuse to use any other pet store because I like how Pet Barn doesnt sell live animals (well, except fish and they have the odd hand raised bird) but you will never see a puppy or kitten for sale in a Pet Barn, plus they have a great rewards program especially with their food

Already changed the title of the topic. I just went to check on the website and its really cheap. I will just double check with my breeder and see what she recommends to use. I am a first time dog owner!

There is a shop near my girlfriend's house where we can find shop that don't sell animals as well. We will get our stuff from there. Thanks for the suggestion.

I am just wondering does anyone know where can i purchase Coprice puppy dry kibbles? My breeder feeds her dogs using that.

EDIT: Found it!

Hi Nicola,

Some places I used:

Puppy Food: http://k9katzkitchen.com.au/ - I found this to be the cheapest source for the food i chose for my dog (Artemis Fresh Mix).

Collar and Lead: http://www.worldforpets.com.au/ - Great selection and it supports the RSPCA.

Dog ID Tags: http://www.pettagembossing.com.au/ - Probably not for "pretty" dogs, as you can find fancier ones elsewhere, but if you're looking for something that will last a long time then these tags are great!

Toys, snacks, accessories: Mainly from my local store: http://www.bestfriendspets.com.au/ but World for Pets is also a great source.

I hope i was able to be of some assistance.

Thanks so much! That was exactly what i was looking for. I will be looking to crate-train my dog. Do you know where can I find good, steady and relatively cheap crates?

Deals Direct has some pretty decent priced crates, I can also vouch for their Pet Jet Washer...absolutely amazing, I can wash two reluctant dogs in under 10 mins with that (and get them dried using one of those awesome microfiber towels)

For folks living in Melb or visiting Melb, there is a great family owned Pet Stock store in High Street, Northcote called Salce. http://www.salce.com.au/

They sell just about anything for any animal for the same price or most times cheaper price than online stores.

I buy Interceptor Spectrum & Advocate from them cheaper than priceless pets online. Also get Artemis dry and other stuff for our birds at great prices.

A while back we went in and purchased a heap of stuff for the puppy, the lady was so nice she gave us $20 worth of freebies Now you can't get that kind of service online or from Pets paradise.
