My Favorite Feature: Best Prices on Dog Supplies and Excellent Service
About Pets WarehousePets Warehouse started in 1974 with breeding birds (yep!) Today they are one of the industry’s top pet retailers, offering the best value on best supplies. Their website has been ranked #2 by Yahoo Internet Life magazine and as the third most visited site by NPD Group, a leading global market search company. Their success has been possible due to one simple principle: taking care of every customer and making them number one. Their top priority has always been to provide excellent customer care. I’m so impressed by the success of this company, the enormous volume of pet supplies they carry, and that they provide such amazing prices, fast shipping and excellent customer service that I wonder how in the heck didn’t I know about them before? I’ve been a pet owner for more than 30 years and I’ve been shopping online for at least 15 years. I’m shocked I didn’t know about these guys sooner! Oh well…better late than never! 🙂
They Know Their Stuff!Pets Warehouse has the most knowledgeable, experienced staff in the industry. When you call, you talk to people who can help you decide exactly which product you need. Don’t you agree that good customer service is becoming a thing of the past? More and more lately, I’m coming across companies that just don’t care whether the customer is satisfied. It’s beyond refreshing that Pets Warehouse actually has real people who are willing to actually help!
Their Website Makes Shopping ConvenientTheir website is super user friendly. It’s broken down into categories, so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. You can also search for a particular product using their search box. And if you can’t find something you need, their phone number and email address are right there – and guess what, they actually pick up the phone when you call (a real person) and they actually respond to emails! You also have the option of signing up to have an account when you order (which makes it super easy to go back to reorder items), or you can order as a guest and not have an account. I like that we have a choice.

They also carry the same large range of supplies for birds, fish, reptiles and small animals like rabbits and gerbils.
The website has forums where you can interact with other pet owners. They have forums for owners of cats, dogs, tropical fish, birds, reptiles and small animals. It’s a great place to make friends and share information with other pet owners. The discussions contained in the forums in which you can participate cover everything from health, diet, grooming, training, behavior, to whether your pet’s body temperature is normal! (that’s currently a discussion in the cat lovers forum…LOL) It’s a great resource for help and information about your pet.
If you have any questions at all, it’s easy to contact customer service by calling, using the “Contact” page on their website, or by emailing Orders@PetsWarehouse.com. This is important to me, because I’m shocked at the number of websites I visit where you actually can’t find the contact information! Some websites don’t offer a phone number, an address, or even an email. How do they get away with that?
Sign Up for Their NewsletterYou can submit your email (secure – your email won’t be shared!) to subscribe to their newsletter to get all of the latest information on products, supplies and pet care. It’s free, and of course you can cancel it at anytime if you find you’re not interested (or if you just get way too many emails like me and have to say no to stuff sometimes!)
My Final RecommendationI was shocked when I first visited PetsWarehouse.com because of the sheer VOLUME of products they carry. To be honest, I always shopped for pet supplies on Amazon. But shopping at PetsWarehouse.com is easier because everything is right there. On Amazon, you have to search each item separately, whereas on PetsWarehouse.com, it’s all available in one section. It’s way faster and easier. And more often than not, the prices end up being the same or less than on Amazon.
If you decide to visit PetsWarehouse.com and place an order, please come back and comment below to let everyone know if ordering was easy enough, if shipping was cheap and fast enough, if the product received was as expected, and give us an overall idea of your level of satisfaction. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

For More About Pet Supplies, CLICK HEREI’ve been shopping online for years. I hardly shop in regular retail stores anymore, because I almost always (no, scratch that…ALWAYS) find what I’m looking for way cheaper online. As a big-time pet lover, I’ve spent thousands of dollars of my hard earned money over the years on my beloved pets. So I have tons of experience finding the best deals!
Below is a list of my favorite places to get the absolute BEST PRICES on discount dog pet beds. Comment below if you have any questions!
Pets WarehouseMy favorite is PetsWarehouse.com. You can read my review about them HERE. I love this place because of the sheer VOLUME of pet items they have available. You can save up to 50% off what the big retail stores charge at Pets Warehouse. They have particularly nice stuff too, like this quilted dog bed:
Aspen Pet Quilted Classic Bed Dog Applique 36 x 27 – $34.41
The Classic Applique Gusseted Dog Bed has the look of a quilt. It is filled with high loft polyester & dried cedar shavings. The cover has a zipper for easy removal and it’s machine washable. CLICK HERE to purchase.
AmazonI’ve shopped on Amazon for years. They have a really big selection, and their prices are always way cheaper than the retail stores. Amazon runs a lot of deals, especially if you have an Amazon credit card or if you’re an Amazon Prime member. Shipping is free if you buy right, and I’m always shocked at how FAST I receive the items.
They have products that are just as nice and of the highest quality like the big retail pet stores, just at way lower prices. Like this dog bed – these orthopedic beds are way more expensive in retail stores.
FurHaven NAP Pet Bed Egg-Crate Orthopedic Pet Mattress Deluxe Dog Bed $34
This bed supports joints and soothes pressure points for deeper, more restorative sleep. It has a removal, machine-washable cover.
CLICK HERE to purchase.
It seems Amazon is the way to go if you’re looking to buy a more expensive, luxury dog bed. Look at this comparison:
K&H Memory Foam Cozy Sofa Pet Bed
41″ x 30″
At PetSmart for $199.99
K&H Memory Foam Cozy Sofa Pet Bed
41″ x 30″
at Amazon for $114.47 (CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE)
EbayI’ve been buying (and selling) on Ebay for more than 15 years. You can read my review about the benefits of buying on Ebay HERE. I’ve purchased dozens of items over the years on Ebay, for my pets and for myself. You can get things slightly used, or new in the box, for a fraction of the retail price.
I purchased this pink dog stroller for my dachshund, Taz on Ebay “new in box” for $44. It was on sale at Walmart for $85! That’s nearly HALF OFF. (Isn’t she so cute in her buggy? Awwwww…)
To see a nice selection of discount dog beds on Ebay, CLICK HERE.
I Hope This Has HelpedI love shopping for my pets, but I also love saving money. I hope I’ve saved you some time and money by showing you ways to get the very same pet supplies you see at PetSmart, etc. at way cheaper prices! Debra

Advantage II by Bayer is the leading and best flea medicine for dogs and cats. It has two separate ingredients that protect your pet against current infestations and future infestations from larvae, pupae and flea eggs: Imidacloprid, which affects the central nervous system of the flea and causes the flea to become paralyzed and results in its death. And Pyriproxifen, which kills all pupae, larvae and even eggs which form the major part of any infestation. It is suitable for pets from seven weeks old (for dogs) and eight weeks old for cats.
Advantage II comes in four different sizes for dogs:
Small dogs (10lb and below)
Medium dogs (11-20lb)
Large dogs (21-55lb)
Extra large dogs (over 55lb)
Advantage II comes in four different sizes for cats:
Small cats (2lb to 5lb)
Medium cats (5lb – 9lb)
Large cats (9lb and up)
For small dogs up to 20 pounds, Advantage II should be applied between the shoulder blades at the base of the neck. Part the hair in between the shoulder blades so you can clearly see the skin. It’s important to apply Advantage II to the skin as this will be the most effective way of clearing the infestation and giving continued protection. Once you see the skin, squeeze the whole contents onto the skin taking special care not to get any into your pet’s mouth or eyes. For larger dogs, the same procedure should be followed (part the hair of the dog and find the skin) however, the drops should be applied in four spots evenly along the back, starting from the base of the neck between the shoulder blades to the base of the tail.
Part the hair at the base of your cat’s neck between the shoulder blades and apply the drops directly onto the skin, taking care to get all the contents of the tube onto the skin for maximum protection. Try not to get the drops into your cat’s eyes or mouth.
Ever since I first tried Advantage for my pets, I’ve never used anything else. Honestly, it’s the SOLUTION for fleas! Find out more by reading my article, How to Get Rid of Fleas.

For More Articles About Pet Supplies & Medications, CLICK HEREI’m so sorry that your pet needs medication. I mean it. I wish so much that our sweet darlings NEVER had anything wrong with them and NEVER needed medication. BUT…just like humans, our babies need a little help from the pharmacy sometimes. So I’ve done my best to find the best place to purchase pet medications based on quality, price, and service, and VetApprovedRX.com is it!
Company/Website: VetApprovedRx.com

The reason I initially started ordering through VetApprovedRx.com was because whenever I did a search online for the best price on pet medications for my dachshund, Taz, I continuously found myself at VetApprovedRx.com because they always ended up having the best price. Then once I placed my first order, I realized they have super fast (and I mean FAST) shipping. That’s important because sometimes I forget, and I’m ordering Taz’s medications at the last minute.
Later, I gained yet another reason to always order Taz’s medications from this company, and that’s CUSTOMER SERVICE. As you may know, whenever you buy pet medications online, your vet either has to provide a prescription or else approve the order. This is not a problem since VetApprovedRX.com will contact your vet for you if you give them the vet’s contact information. Vet’s offices are used to this. They receive a fax from the online pharmacy asking them to approve the prescription by signing the request and faxing it back.
I’ve ordered many, many times, but then all of a sudden there was a problem because my vet’s office failed to approve my order. Cheryl from VetApprovedRx.com contacted me by email and told me there was a problem. I called the vet’s office and was told what the problem was…they lost Taz’s prescription! I provided them with the record of Taz’s prescription (honestly – should I really have to do their job? grrr) – PLUS VetApprovedRx.com also provided the vet with a copy of the last order which was approved by their office.
I couldn’t have been more impressed with the fact that VetApprovedRx.com went to all this trouble to get vet approval for my order! THEN, Cheryl called me personally to ask if I’d like priority shipping since there had been a delay! They offered me several shipping options to make sure Taz didn’t miss a dose of any of her medications. Honestly, I can’t tell you how blown away I am by this level of customer service. And Cheryl has stuck with me. Whenever I email with a question, it’s Cheryl who responds, and if they ever need any information, it’s always Cheryl who calls me. I like this because it’s easy when someone knows your pet’s history – easier than explaining things again and again to a new person every time, you know? VetApprovedRx.com will remain my favorite pet medications store!
VetApprovedRx.com has products for dogs, cats and horses. You can search for medications by name, or by use, such as allergy relief, antibiotics, thyroid, etc. And you can also search for medications by symptoms such as nausea, anxiety, bad breath…it makes it easy to find whatever you’re looking for! They have all the top brands, and even holistic and natural pet products as well. And you can sign up for their newsletter to receive coupons and special offers.
My Final RecommendationBest price, super fast shipping, outstanding customer service, and brand-name, high-quality products. Need I say more?

For More Articles About Pet Supplies & Medications, CLICK HEREI buy on Ebay a LOT. Anytime I need something, I shop around online, and I have to say that 9 times out of 10, I end up finding it for the lowest price on Ebay. I don’t just buy pet supplies, I buy everything from clothing to shoes to housewares to makeup, to patio furniture – everything!
Biggest Advantage: Cheap Pet Supplies with FREE SHIPPING!
Anything you can think of, you can find on Ebay. And the selection is huge. Whatever size, color, price – the choices are endless. There are people from all over the world selling products. Virtually anything you want, they have!
Sellers can sell products on Ebay so much cheaper than retailers because they have no overhead. Ebay and PayPal take a small fee, and that’s pretty much it. Also, Ebay sellers tend to buy in bulk/wholesale, so their price-per-item tends to be low, so they can sell it cheaper. The price difference, compared to shopping even at places as cheap as Walmart, is truly remarkable.
As an example, I purchased this pet stroller for my doxy, Taz (isn’t she so freaking cute?) on Ebay for $44 with free shipping (brand new in box). The same buggy was at Walmart for $85 plus tax! I find deals like this on absolutely everything I look for on Ebay. The prices are just way, way cheaper! Check out the dog buggies on Ebay here.
By the way, that’s my hubby, Leo with Taz in the picture. You should see our neighbors’ reactions when we take Taz for walks in this buggy. At first glance, they think we’re a couple walking a baby. Then they look closer and see it’s a dog! They always crack up when I say, “She looks just like her father!” (Leo hates that line….LOL) 🙂
You can do detailed searches on Ebay where you can choose to filter by things like “lowest price,” or “free shipping,” or “items within 50 miles of me,” or “new items” or “used items.” You can be very precise as to what you actually want and Ebay will do the searching for you. Size, color, brand – you name it, you can ask for it!
Just open Ebay and put the item you’re looking for in the search box and tons of listings will come up. On the left side of the screen you will see spots where you can refine your search by things like size, color, price, etc. On the right of the search box there’s “advanced search” which you can click to refine your search even more. As an example, you might put “dog leash” in the search box. Then specify size large, color red, free shipping, and less than $25. That’s just an example of how easy it is to search for products. Then once you find products you like, you can either bid on them if they’re “up for auction,” or BUY IT NOW, which most Ebay sellers give as an option. Then you pay with PayPal, which is super easy. (If you don’t have a PayPal account, it only takes about two minutes to set one up – Ebay will guide you through that.) Many Ebay sellers also accept credit cards if you don’t want to use PayPal.
You can do it in less than 2 minutes. All you need to do is fill in your name, email, and choose a password. Ebay will allow you to choose your username. Done!
It’s easy to pay.Ebay accepts PayPal for most listings, and many sellers also accept credit cards. It’s super easy to pay online. It’s smart to use PayPal because they offer extra buyer protection (over and above what you’d get if you just pay with your credit card).
Ebay offers Buyer Protection. This is huge. If you don’t receive something you ordered, or if it is received damaged, or even if you don’t feel the item matches the description in the Ebay listing, you can file a complaint with Ebay and/or PayPal and they will put a hold on the seller’s account immediately until the issue is resolved! Ebay/PayPal will also issue full refunds to you (price plus any shipping you paid) if the issue is not resolved to your satisfaction.
Ebay sellers are rated by buyer feedback.This is really important, because Ebay allows buyers to leave negative feedback for a seller if the item isn’t shipped on time, if it’s not as described in the listing, if the order is filled incorrectly – or even if the seller’s communication is rude, not helpful, etc. This feature makes treating buyers like Kings a major motivator for Ebay sellers. The higher their feedback, the higher their ranking in Ebay. If they are considered a Top-Rated Seller, their listings come up FIRST when someone does a search. It’s huge.
You can shop from your home computer, lapop, ipad, cell phone – from anywhere, anytime of the day or night. You can get the Ebay app for your mobile phone – open it, search, choose, buy, pay – done!
Most of the top sellers on Ebay offer one day shipping. Items are often shipped the same day you pay for them. Ebay offers big incentives to sellers for offering fast shipping and/or free shipping. You can search with the requirement of free shipping! And they encourage buyers to leave positive feedback if the seller does a good job with shipping – so it’s something Ebay sellers really strive to make as fast as possible!
Another Advantage to buying on Ebay!Ebay has a program called Ebay Giving Works. It allows sellers to donate a portion of their sales to charities – including animal and pet charities! If you choose a seller that participates in Ebay Giving Works and donates, say, to the ASPCA, then a portion of your purchase will benefit the ASPCA. And here’s the even-better news! I personally donate 10% of all commissions I earn from this website to animal charities. You can click on We Donate to Animal Charities to get the list of charities I donate to. So if you get to Ebay by clicking any of the Ebay links in this article and make a purchase, then not only will a portion of your purchase be donated to animal charities by the Ebay Seller, but also by me! THAT’S A DOUBLE DONATION EVERY TIME YOU PURCHASE SOMETHING! Just click “Ebay for Charity” in advanced search options when searching for your items on Ebay. Cool, huh? If you’re going to buy something, why not help animals at the same time, right?

My little dachshund, Taz, has been displaying a lot of nervousness and anxiety the last few months. Mostly in the evening. She spends a lot of her evening walking and pacing and panting . I became concerned about this and asked her vet why she might be doing this. Taz is 14 years old. She has lost her hearing almost completely, and is having more and more difficulties walking around without falling. The doctor said that it’s likely, in the evening hours when it’s starting to get dark, that Taz is feeling vulnerable and anxious due to the fact that she can’t get around well anymore and is losing her hearing (and likely losing her site as well).
The doctor suggested using the Adaptil, D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) Collar to help Taz feel more calm and reassured. This product contains a pheromone – the same pheromone that female dogs with puppies create. When a female dog has a litter of puppies, her body puts out a scent – a pheromone – that gives the puppies a calming sense of reassurance. It lasts the entire six weeks that the puppies are nursing. Some vets recommend using Adaptil for the entire first year of a puppy’s life – to provide reassurance while they learn to make their way in the world! I love this whole idea. What better help is there than feeling like your Mommy is around when you’re upset?
More information About This Product:The Adaptil Collar is easy to use and convenient as it releases the dog appeasing pheromone constantly (even when the dog is outside). The dog’s body temperature and close contact warm the collar and encourages the diffusion of pheromones into the local environment. It is essential the Adaptil Collar is in close contact with the dog’s skin at all times.
Puppy socialization, traveling, crating, kenneling, boarding, vet visits and training. It’s also ideal for dogs who are afraid of thunderstorms. Taz isn’t afraid of storms, but she has a terrible time riding in the car. She gets so upset! The Adaptil Collar is helpful for dogs who don’t do well with being home alone. As Taz gets older, she seems to get more anxious about being home alone. This is another reason I wanted to try this product for her.
SizesThere are two sizes of adjustable collars:
Puppy/small dogs (fits neck up to 37.5cm)
Medium/large dogs (fits neck up to 62.5cm).
The collars are pretty long – you cut them to size.
Each collar lasts up to 4 weeks and can be replaced as required.
My Rating of this ProductI think this is helping Taz. We purchased one collar – she wore it for one month, and now we’ve replaced it with a fresh collar. I plan to get her a fresh/new one every month. The biggest difference I noticed is when we take Taz for walks. She can’t walk for long distances, so she rides in a buggy part of the time. She was really nervous in the buggy and wouldn’t sit still. She would pant a LOT. But with the collar, she’s noticeably CALM. She rides along nicely and seems to really enjoy the ride! I’ve also noticed she’s way better in the car since we got the collar. She still pants, but she doesn’t cry and whine, and she’ll sit still for the most part. It’s been such a relief to have her ride in the car well. It was so upsetting when she was scared in the car, not to mention dangerous!
I would recommend trying this product if your pet has any of the issues listed above. I really do think it helps!
