Notes on Pet Supply Price Comparison

N/A: means that this particular pet store did not carry the product being compared for prices.

Date of price comparison: This price comparison was performed on 16 June 2004. Prices may have changed. Please check the online pet store for current prices.

Some price comparisons were done with comparable products. If this is the case, then “comp” will appear next to the price.

General Findings

It’s difficult to do a side-by-side price comparison based solely on the prices of individual items. The shipping costs will always make a difference to your final total.

We found that some pet supply prices at one store may be higher than at other stores, but other products may have a lower price. It will depend on the type of pet supply you order.

For drugs and flea control products, online pet pharmacy prices consistently beat general pet supply store prices.

Shipping Costs

Our price comparison of shipping costs shows a wide range from pet store to pet store. The following factors may be used to determine your total shipping costs:

  • The weight of your order.
  • The total cost for all pet products you are ordering.
  • The delivery location for your pet supplies.
Many online pet stores will give you free shipping if you place a certain minimum order amount with them. The minimum order varies.

The table above should only be used as a general guideline. Please be sure to confirm the delivery amount for your purchase at the online pet store.
