Pet supplies online?

Looking for a cheaper & better selection

Hi,

So far I'm disappointed with the scant selection and ultra high cost of pet supplies at the pet shops around town (Uppsala). Are there any online pet supply companies in Sweden that might offer a better selection and lower prices?

Thanks!

Depends on the pet, but grangarden/lantmannen sell dog/cat/... Bigger pet stuff. Smaller independent farmer supplies place will sell stuff to. If your pet is a fish, mouse, rat,.. they only sell traps! You might need to be more specific as posting 20kg bags of dog food wouldn't be cost effective.

Actually the 20kg bags of food can be cost effective (free) with

hemfoder.se
or
animail.se

I use whichever one is cheaper or has the product I want, both are excellent and you get the food usually 1 day after your order delivered to your door.

I'm surprised, but not doubting you.
For my I would prefer to spend the extra money on postage on better food and keeping a local retailer in business, but that's just me, otherwise the day will come when local shops are no more. Everything will come from a massive warehouse a 1000kms away and that just can't be right.

Small business, personal service, highly recommended. English no problem if you call them.

I agree with you, but the only place that sold my food in town discontinued it and left me to go online. But, since I am in a small city, online really is helpful.
