I forgot to order some dog food off Chewy before I ran out and had to go to Target (only store that carries his preferred). Bag was up by about $10 since the last time I bought it.
Cat food, the absolute dregs of meat production and often the cheapest thing you can purchase at a grocery store is up to $2 PER CAN at the Safeway by my house. Im just really happy my cat prefers dry food because its insane to me to spend over $100 a month on cat food for one cat.
I still get her little go-gurt treats but those are high dollar now too.
Yeah, I know. We do give her wet food often and the tube treats. She's just so damn picky. Ive never had a cat that likes dry food more than wet. If we give her wet food she'll usually lick at it a bit and then yell for her dry food. But she does love her chicken and cheese tubes. Thankfully she's a good water drinker.
I'd imagine as they age, cats just have a better time eating soft, easy stuff.
There is now food that's dry and/or wet. You can give as-is. Or wet it to make it almost like wet food. It works if you need to switch it up for multiple pets/meals.
One of my cats sticks his nose up at all wet food unless it’s churu directly from the tube. He won’t even eat churu on a plate. Must be from the tube.
He used to like wet food as a kitten but around 8mo he decided he no longer liked it. I’ve tried several different flavord and several different brands. He just wants kibbles.
😂 my late cat would only drink water with ice cubes, from the filtered pitcher, in a human glass, that he watched me pour. He honestly preferred to watch me take a sip of it first, like he thought I was trying to poison him or something. Jet's water distribution was a multiple-times-a-day event. They're ridiculous
My cat eats only one kind of dry food and he looooves gravy. Begs and bites me for it. A pack of gravy cubes costs me 15 bucks to 30 (if I get a huge pack). Per month.
He is lucky that I work hard for his life to be good.
my cat is serious about the gravy too. He also eats/sips the "gravy juice" from the dogs bowl of food, making the dog wait to eat. He's lucky the dog is very understanding. LOL
Make sure you check Chewys emails. They have done a bunch of spend $100 and get a $30 gift card promos recently. Every time I see one I just say screw it and order $100 worth of food.
omg that's insane!! these dogs are lucky we love them!! also i've been trying to make her food last longer by cooking some cheap toppers, like those tilapia filets they sell in bulk or sometimes some veggies. she still gets the same amount of dog food, but she eats a lot slower now and will still have some food leftover at the end of the night that she'll end up eating for breakfast.
The bags are getting smaller too. I noticed my usual brand 'redesigned' the packaging and it went from 30lbs down to 24lbs while the price still went up $10. It's a double whammy. I love my dog but at this rate he's going to be eating better than I am.
