Royal Canin purchase: can I help rescues?

[Christine (Blip)]

Ah, just over £20 for 48 pouches.  I shall check what our vet charges but I bet it is more

Yes, our vet does charge more, but only a couple of pounds and, as delivery from Bestpet is £4.95, I am actually better off buying the wet pouches at the vet.  Pity my purchases wont help rescues though.

£4.95 upto 28kg so if you bought alot it wouldnt add too much onto the price per bag

The problem with getting dry food through Vet UK is that while it is cheaper than the vets, you have to pay P & P on it, last time I looked into it, it pretty much wiped out the discount, and their was the hassle of having to be in to accept the delivery.

there's wet and dry on there. That's not the site I meant before but I have used them and they've been fine. Long while back now though.

Thats the dried version, Lottie  and it is 25% cheaper than my vet, but I am after the wet.

Hiya, this probably isn't madly helpful but there's a chemist chain called "Manor Pharmacy" in the Derbyshire area. They stock Royal Canin vet food. I bought Renal from them at £24 for 48 pouches. That's probably a good guide as to cost. They have a website under construction from where they'll be doing mail order soon. They also said I can buy direct from a website in the mean time but handily I can't remember the name. It's similar to vetuk.com but I'm sure it's not them. I'll find out next time I go in. Sorry I'm useless!

  Susanne.

I checked out Vet UK and it has the dried food at about 25% cheaper than our vet.  It doesnt have the pouches of wet though - I will check out the Royal Canin website for stockists.

Edited to add that the website proved a little difficult to navigate and I couldnt even find Mature Weight & Kidney listed    Does anyone happen to know of any online stockists for the pouches of wet food?

I don't think rescues can benefit from zooplus purchases, Christine, but vet uk sell royal canin and they do so check them out.

[Christine (Blip)]

I put this in the middle of another thread, which was a bit daft really 

Anyway, any rescues out there that would benefit from my purchases?

When Blip had her Old Friends check-up this week, the practice gave me samples of Royal Canin Mature Weight & Kidney, dried and wet.  Somewhat to my surprise, Blip has taken to them both eagerly (she doesnt eat much dried food, but I leave it down during the day and she will chomp one or two kibbles).  So I might look at getting some supplies in.

Is Zooplus one of the sites that you can click through from rescues?  I havent used it before.
