I am looking for someplace I can order canned food from that will allow me to buy less than a case of each. I need to find a new wet for Twitch & Lily. However, I can't afford to buy cases of a bunch of foods. I looked at www.epetpals.com but they don't have anything I haven't tried yet.

I don't have an answer for you, but I'll be interested to see if anyone does. I have had to donate more stuff than I can even remember because her fussiness won't eat it.

I'd also like to find a place that ships faster than PetFoodDirect. I realize they're probably bogged down right now, but last time I ordered from them under "normal" conditions, it took forever then too.

Their slow shipping has always frustrated me, but they still seem to have the most variety for the best prices. Once I order from them I start my mantra...."you are being taught patience and tolerance"...ohmmmmmmm....


Natalie... I know Merrick sells individual cans, but their prices are so way high when buying direct. What brand of foods are you looking for?

I don't know what I'm looking for. I need to start trying new foods on Twitch & Lily. I'm ordering from Pat some by Nature pouches. I've tried Merricks & they'll tolerate it, but it is rather $$$ esp when I've got such a "flock" to feed.


I'm tempted to drive 3 hours to the Twin Cities Metro area this week & hit every pet store in the area!

Have you tried this site? http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/

I like Sharky's co-op idea.
The last time I bought a case of food, my kitty decided two cans in that he didn't like it anymore.
Although I did end up donating the rest to a shelter, so I suppose it wasn't a waste.

Even if I order the food & the inside cats don't like it, the outdoor ones sure gobble it up!
I don't usually donate it to the shelter because it's so high quality it usually gives the cats the runs & I'm the one cleaning up after them.... I'm thinking the Pet Gold I have should be OK to donate, though!

I never realized Only Natural Pet let you order by the can! I so have to look around there! Thanks for that link!

Here's a link to one of the places I've shopped in the past that lets you buy by the can.

Phydeaux Pets

I had totally forgotten about them.

Another one is www.sitstay.com. They have more dog foods and treats than cat, but they do have some and I think you can order by the can.

I made two orders, one from Pat & one from a new place, umm...waggin something or other. I had to order by the case, so I only got 3 different kinds. Plus the by Nature & IcelandPet from Pat. Hopefully, they like some of it!
