subject: How To Feed Your Pets Without Burning A Hole In Your Wallet [print this page] The economic crisis, one of the worst ever, has left a huge mess in its wake. Though the crisis is slowly abating, the prices of most items are still to come down. Those who own several pets are feeling problems created by this price rise the most. Along with other items, the cost of pet food has also gone up. Decreasing the amount of food that you give to your pets is not the solution, and you have to seek for some other solution to this problem. The good news is that there is a way by means of which you can feed your pets to their full without being overburdened by the cost of pet food.
There are several sites on the net that provide pet food in bulk and they are your best answer. You will be amazed to find that the pet food they sell costs nearly 50% less than if you had purchased the same amount through any local pet store. However, there are certain things that you should keep in mind while purchasing pet food in bulk. Not all of them last for a long time, once the airproof pouch they are packed in, are opened. There is a simple method of calculating how much food you need to purchase.
Note down the amount of food that you provide to each of your pet per day and multiply that figure by 30. This figure provides you with the amount of food you require for your pets per month. You can purchase wholesale food for your pets keeping this calculation in mind. As a rule of the thumb, you should not stock more than a month's supply during the winter season, and even less during the summer and monsoon season. Remember, it does not mean that the qualities of these foods for your pets are bad, just because their prices are low.
In fact the pet shops in your locality purchase the pet food that they sell to you from the same wholesalers and pack them in smaller quantities for you to purchase. Most online stores that sell these wholesale foods for pets have full details of the composition of each food that they sell. You can check out the composition and compare the same with the composition of the foods available at the pet store, if you have any doubts in mind.
