Over the years as a pet owner, it’s become second nature to flip bags and packages of food and treats over to read through the ingredients. With health issues, skin issues, and allergies, it’s been important that we know what we are feeding them won’t cause any allergy flare-ups or upset stomachs. Although probiotic supplements (like these) can help to prevent such problems, it is also vital to choose the right type of food for your dog. I also never realized before becoming a pet owner that some dog foods contain really unsavory ingredients, so it’s been eye-opening. With dog food ingredient awareness, selecting a dog food is easier! With brands like Purina® Dog Chow and Purina® Beneful®, you know right away what’s in your dog food (and you won’t break the bank)!
For us, it’s important that our dog food have real ingredients. Real meat vs just a meat flavor, for example. It’s really offputting that some foods don’t have REAL meat but just added flavors. If we wouldn’t eat it, why would we feed it to our family pet?!
Speaking of not breaking the bank, from now until 3/3, you can save money on Purina® Dog Chow with a coupon for $1 off 32 lb bag or smaller OR save $1 on any size bag of Beneful Dog Food!
Save your arms and back from lugging those big bags of food by using Shipt. I have been wanting to try this for a while now after favorable reviews from friends, so I figured why not try it with a dog food purchase! Shipt lets me shop online and have my order DELIVERED to my front door.
I was able to purchase the few items I forgot (always. happens.) plus two bags of dog food – Purina Dog Chow Complete Adult with Real Beef Dog Food and Purina Dog Chow Healthy Weight Dog Food. I made sure my mPerks reward was loaded, too!
No going out in the rain, no impulse purchases in the checkout lane, and it’s incredibly easy to order exactly what I want or need. I was also VERY surprised by my options for delivery timeframe! This fits my schedule so nicely – not to mention we really cut back on those 8pm “Oh crap, we’re out of dog food!” runs we’ve had to do!
Let’s go back and talk about ingredient awareness. If you know your dog has an issue with something, like chicken or with grains, it’s incredibly important that you read labels. Know that they won’t eat anything with XYZ in it because they can be just as picky as a child? Read the label!
I’m always a fan of shopping at Meijer (yay mPerks!), and I love that it’s a one-stop-shop for all of our needs. Combined with Shipt, we can get all of our groceries, household items and our Purina and Beneful dog foods!
If you want to try Shipt, see if it’s available in your area! If not, see if your store offers Curbside service. Don’t forget your savings coupon! And yes, you can link your mPerks account to your Shipt account so all of your digital coupons can be used on home delivery purchases!
