PAH have a very good returns policy if they dont like it - I bought 2 4kg bags in this offer one year (after trying them on a small bag), and they woudltn eat it, so after Helen said about their returns policy I took them back, it must have been months after, and they refunded me per bag, even though it was BOGOF when I bought them. Needless to say the money I got back (and a bit more) was spent in the shop!!
Please spay your cat

I did the same. I bought 3 for 2 Hill's senior light which was about £25. (it comes in 1.5kg bags) I tried the senior PAH one once and they didn't like it  :tired: - however, they are going after the adult PAH in the garden when I put it out for the hedgies. I am pleased to report that at least the hedgies prefer PAH to Purina One  :evillaugh:

What was crazy was I paid £32 for 6kg of Hills food in their three for the price of two offer, and got 24kg of the PetsatHome food for the same price!

I was on the phone to Lottie whilst queueing up and almost dropped my phone when I saw the total cost  :rofl:  Now have to hope my two like the pets at home food!

Thanks for this, Mark , have just lugged 8 kg of the salmon flavour home. Would have liked to have got more, but it's a half hr walk each way and I'm now totally pooped.

The boys had better not go off it...

I only get the 2kg bags (1.5kg with Hills senior) but may as well get the big bags as I am feeding the 5000 here  :evillaugh:

The 2 torties are always on the cadge + hedgies. Also the birds always finish what the hedgies and cats leave. I have even started leaving out left over wet food and the seagulls and magpies have that.

I was thinking of getting on one of the Kitchen Maid air tight storage containers in PAH.

The sell by date is around 13 months, it's stored in sealed bags and each bag is 4kg so the rest stays fresh while one bag is open. I'm sure even after 13 months it would be fine but I estimate it will all be gone by then, especially when they get a new flavour as they've been eating salmon for a few months now  :evillaugh:

I would be worried about it going off or the quality being degraded having that amount of food :scared: I know Arden Grange has a 1 year BB date and once opened should be eaten as soon as possible (which is why they never recommend getting big bags unless you have over so many cats).

The boys have wet food too, don't think they or I would be happy with dry only. They always have a bowl of biccies to much on and I've started sprinkling them on their treat board instead of Dreamies/Temptations so we'll get through the biscuit mountain OK  :evillaugh:

No prob  :)

I may go back on Thursday (when OH is back at work) and see if they have any left.

800 days food for 1 cat isn't bad for £33  :shify:

I can see my 2 bags going quickly. Sadly I can't get Kylie off Hills senior light. Annoyingly, I think it was what caused her weight gain. It is the only food she will eat really. At least I got 3 for 2.

Just keeps showing out of stock. I have four months worth of food now at least anyway, will only need to buy their wet so for £20 I'm happy! Hopefully they'll do this again, they seem to do it periodically although last time it was only on the fish flavour but it's still a good deal when it comes round.

Why can't you order the chicken flavour?  :Crazy:

That's what I was looking at, sizes are as normal :shify:

Anyway, seems my persistence paid off, I have just managed to order 4 bags of 2kg fishy flavour. Couldn't get any more flavours or sizes. Maybe someone cancelled an order and I got lucky.

It doesn't even show up on the list of dry food that they sell when I'm looking for it (in the adult versions). It definitely did when you first posted :(

I would get your ass down to the local store tomorrow morning. Canterbury had loads on Saturday afternoon and they were closed today so still a good chance of thee being plenty instore?

Huh, it was when I tried to add it to my basket, a warning came up above the product listing saying out of stock in this quantity (I only put one in the basket). I'm off to try again!

At what stage does it tell you it has sold out?

I just tried putting come 2kg chicken in the basket and can't see anything saying it is out of stock.

 :-[ Thanks Helen - I think I will do another trip as the 2 torties approve of it. Also, Kylie was eating some in the garden that one of them left. It seems the robins also approve  :)

I ahve no choice but to leave it, I'm skinto :evillaugh: I should get paid Tuesday I think so will go down after work or on Wednesday. Purina One is strictly for when I can only get to the Co-op, I just get a little bag to tide them over.

I wouldn't leave it too long as in previous years, they have sold out.

I think the PAH one is more on par with Proplan than Purina One.

This is what my two are eating at the moment and I'll be getting some this week as we've run out and are on emergency Purina One :shify: My two haven't always had it but they love it, both the chicken and the fishy one ;D So recommended from this house.

Cat food bargain of the year
« Reply #1 on: April 04, 2010, 09:23:43 AM »
This is already posted in the bargains section, but such a good offer, I though it worth posting here in case anyone misses it.

Pets at Home own brand premium food (on par with Hill's, Royal Canin etc) is BOGOF until 9am on 13th April.

2kg bags £9.99 (so 4kg is £9.99) = 100 days food
4kg bags £16.69 (so 8kg is £16.69) = 200 days food

The BOGOF applies to all size bags and all flavours/variants, including senior & kitten versions.

If anyone hasn't tried this, most cats love it and the kibbles are the smallest I have seen. Helen's Lucas & Riley have always eaten it.

Also, PAH are doing free delivery until tomorrow with no minimum purchase. You might even have time to order 2 small bags for about £2.50 delivered to try it and still have time to reorder the larger bags  ;D
