Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2007PetFoodDirect discount
I think I have previously mentioned that I order my cat food through PetFoodDirect.com. I use Wellness canned and Innova EVO canned, and there no suppliers within 75 miles of my home. PetFoodDirect has given me excellent service. Once you are on their mailing list, they e-mail frequent "discount" or "promotion" codes. Most are in the 10-15% range, but the best ones (and much less frequent) are 22-25% off. I received one of the 22% discounts in my e-mail today. If any of you wanted to try it, this would be a good opportunity. That discount basically covers the cost of shipping. However, all of their discounts are good for only for 2 or 3 days, so you have to watch your e-mail for it. If any of you want to order, the current promotion code is PET3413. It is for 22 percent off, and it is only good through midnight of April 15. Be sure *not* to check on the 5% discount on their web page -- that discount is always available, but you can only use one of the discounts with a single order. They have a very long list of cat foods available, and you can read a list of nutrients and ingredients for most foods if you check on "details."

That's US$0.50 per can - I buy mine at US$0.40 per can at Wal-Mart. Hugs, CatNipped I use petfooddirect.com to buy those brands that I usually can't find at my local pet stores or grocery stores. With the 22% discount, it's usually a pretty good deal. S. >>I think I have previously mentioned that I order my cat food through >>PetFoodDirect.com.

I used to order from them a lot but when I switched ISPs I couldn't figure out how to continue getting them to send me discount codes. I was always able to find the brands I want (Wellness, Petguard etc) by work but it's expensive. As long as I have at least a 20% off code, ordering online is a much better value. My boss talks about a place he goes to in New Jersey (I'm in NYC) and said their prices are really good. He picked up two cases of food for me, but it wasn't a bargain. He got me two cases of Merrick, which is the only thing Otto has been wanting to eat lately. $1.05/can and no discount for buying full cases. For the same amount of money, I got two cases of Merrick and freeze dried chicken treats. That includes shipping, and using the 22% code posted here. I have the orders shipped to my job and bring some home with me every day. Hopefully I'll now be back on their mailing list and get discount codes again. -- Liz > Thanks for the code.

I know I used to get at least one e-mail a week so if I don't get any, I'll call them. I saw that the WBCL is still on sale.

The reason that I ask what it is, is because we had a thread going recently about that particular subject. A lot of people posted what they use, & what they don't use too, &.. why as well..(it was under the heading of what other use can you put used litter to **I think** This has become a very serious subject close to our heart's for a couple of reasons: 1) Very shortly here in the UK, we are about to join a pilot scheme where we will be charged by the kilo for the rubbish that we dispose of... As you can imagine, this is a very topical subject recently., because we are used to using Sophisticat (pink bags of biggest sack)..we have used this product for years, so it is going to be very hard changing them all over to a different thing to do... 2)We need to use a litter that doesn't weigh too much & is pretty Eco friendly too. I have had pine pellets recommended cuz it smells a lot better it's Also Eco friendly. Then someone came up with a wheat one, but that was found to block drains if you try flushing it.. then I came across a silicon gel that soaks urine up & deodorises the cat litter box, but no one came back to me on how well that one performs, or how Eco terrible/good it is? Flushing some of it away has been been one suggestions, & light silicon was another one that won't weight too much as well... I really would love to know what anyone else's thoughts about this subject & what they would go if they were in our situation please? We "can't carry on using clumping litter type stone litter, because it weighs too much for us to dispose of in a correct responsible way... We need to change our litter full time by the end of next month... I'm have even thought of using peat, bog peat(very rich dark, light weighing soil when not wet..), because we live on the edge of a peat bog & it is just a matter of digging what you need then dumping it... but that is not the answer either.(& it took me 3 weeks to get Ringo to even think about it, & Lucy(fur!) even longer..)... Thanx, S;o) on Sat, 14 Apr 2007 20:33:06 GMT, "sheelagh" > then I came across a > silicon gel that soaks urine up & deodorises the cat litter box, I don't have any experience with that kind of litter, but I imagine anything that soaks up the urine is going to be heavier when disposed of than when purchased, so I don't think that is going to help you reduce the weight of your refuse. Think about how heavy a disposeable diaper is when soaked with urine--*much* heavier than when it comes out of the package.  SignatureLynne > on Sat, 14 Apr 2007 20:33:06 GMT, "sheelagh" > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > -- > Lynne You make a very good point here. your right too..... it sounds rather like the Worlds Best Cat Litter, or the pine pellets I think. I was just taking a look that link that was provided for me to take a good look @ it..It sounds rarther good to be honest. I think I might have a shipping issue there though. Having said that, I have emailed thee company to see if they have any agents over onthis side of the pond who might be able to help[. Failing that, I can go to Pets @ Home & seewhat they have to offer inthe way of Pine wooden pellets. I popped in there today , but didn't have the ltime/luxiory of having a look around because I only just caught the shop open @ 5pm. Perhaps another time. I'm sick with myself..I didn't notice that they had a buy one & get the second half price on the Iams wet food pouches, so I only picked one up..Gutted & so are the moggies too;o( Oh Well...another lesson learned. To get it from the local shop costs between >> I think it's World's Best Cat Litter. >> >> S. <snip> >> >>> MaryL >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > me the Brand name, even if ity actually stands for the"Worlds Best Cat > litter"....? <snip> > > Thanx, > S;o) The World's Best Litter *is* a brand name. You can read about it here: http://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/ The litter is made from whole-kernel corn, so it should be biodegradable. I have a friend who *loves* it and wouldn't use anything else (so I really should have recognized the initials). I don't know if it's available in the UK, but it probably would be very good for your purposes. On the other hand, *any* littler will gain weight -- as Lynne said -- as it absorbs urine. I'm sure you scoop regularly, and that will reduce the weight significantly, but I don't know of any litter that won't have some "heft" to it when you dispose of it. Incidentally, I think The Country's Best Litter is even flushable, although I personally don't trust *any* litter for that purpose.

The pine pellets turn to sawdust when they get wet, and when they dry out, they are as light as when purchased. (It dries better in a sifting tray.) More importantly, the sawdust can be composted and does't need to go in the garbage. SignatureLynne I forgot to say that sawdust dries pretty quickly, relatively speaking. Silica gel, if that is what is meant by "silicone cat litter," will not dry out at all. SignatureLynne I use to use World's Best Cat Litter and I really liked it. But then they changed it somehow....and my cats didn't like using the new stuff. So I stopped buying it.

I don't know if it's available in the > UK, but it probably would be very good for your purposes This one is Most Definitely one that I want to investigate, where possible. I haven't seen it described as one that might come in a liquid gallon sized jar, but I have seen something similar whilst browsing.... It sounds rather like one that would interest me. I pointed out in my email to the manufacturer that , that this might be the start of the way ahead in themselves, or European/UK British market. we are simply the start for the way things *will Be* in the UK, from now on. If we are the test pilot scheme I would say that in 2years we will have almost everyone looking for an alternative to clumping litter which I think most people use. Personally, I buy Sofisticat antibacterial, so this is going to be quite a shock to all of the cats. I did think about it today & picked up 1bag of clumping litter in to fall back on if things go right up the Swanee & they refuse to use them. My main concern is that the smell wil be so alien to them after Sofisticat, straight to pine. what do you all think? I know that a felines sense of smell is around 10 x sharper than our own. If we can notice the difference, imagine how the cats *must?feel*? > On the other hand, *any* littler will gain weight -- as Lynne said -- as it absorbs > urine.

I can't bare the smell of a couple of our feline family paying a visit..I end up braving it in the hallway, taking a deep gush of breath so that I can run upstairs and clear it up, before the whole house Stinks of her if she has been;o( The boys are no better either, but @ least it is outside. You can just picture it now....Couple & three of their children are coming to see us for the first time..I don't care what anyone says.. People do take a reality check when they first see you, don't they? In fact it is so bad after a couple of our feline family that I *know* when they have been, even if I am on the other side of the house..... Couple arrive, Lucy(fur!) joyfully hops in the litter & has her daily 4 minute ritual of stinking the house out & taking ages to get it over with, just so that they can stick their middle fingers @ me;o( Then they take sheer delight in humiliating me...I'm certain of it, lol:o) They have to show us up *Every time*.....>"o"< > Incidentally, I think The Country's Best Litter is even flush able, although > I personally don't trust *any* litter for that purpose. Cindy said the same thing. In fact she had to have some work done on the pipework..A BIG Problem, So I feel a bit nervous about that, although it would be the first time I ever have. I know that they have tidied up the shores around here cuz they were polluted..But recently, we are told that they have won prizes for cleanliness...so cautious optimism there... > MaryL- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - > > I don't know of any litter that won't have some "heft" to > > it when you dispose of it. Sorry to have to ask, but what is a "heft" when we need one? I think it is a part of the head of "Wheat?" > The pine pellets turn to sawdust when they get wet, and when they dry out, > they are as light as when purchased.

This also sounds effective, & possibly might be the best way to treat the cat litter problems. it sounds ideal.. I take it we can scoop the boxes x 3 daily & simply take the effluence left? How do I dry the sawdust, or does it turn dry it's self? Would you, scoop & flush down the toilet, or.. .would you simply dispose of that only, but how do we get rip of the sawdust that we do scoop out > Lynne Thank you for the brilliant explanations that you have mentioned. I was starting to panic about this very problem, knowing that we could ill afford the charge/toll for This post was very helpful. Thank you! The charge is high & the difference could be a far better idea than I should have done a long time ago. Sometimes you can she the forest, for the Tree's...?!! The way things were going, we felt that the toll is too high, yet we know we *Must* do something thoughtful, so that our grandchildren don't inherit the problems we made for them. I think if we could introduce this effectively, we will have done everyone a favour, including ourselves & our felines. I hope the shock is not too strange for them.....? Any advice would be appreciated please?

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > dispose of that only, but how do we get rip of the sawdust that we do > scoop out Sheelagh, do a Google search on how to compost. There are a lot of websites which instruct on how to make and take care of a compost pile. Many will show special equipment (such as tumblers) but you don't need them. A simple wood enclosure which allows air circulation is fine and you can make it yourself. The end result of composting is a nutrient rich mulch/soil ammendment. You can compost most of your kitchen scraps (no meat or fish, though), some paper products, grass clippings, etc. (There is a good list here: http://www.compostguide.com/) Depending on the volume of sawdust that you generate, you may not be able to compost it all, but you can definitely minimize how much you put out with the trash by composting. In fact, you can minimize your overall volume of household garbage by composting. Do not dump the used sawdust into your toilet, by the way! Note that you cannot compost all types of used cat litter, nor should you. The sawdust from pine pellets composts well, but also please note that you should not use that compost on food plants. It's fine for anything you aren't going to eat (such as your flowers and planting beds). SignatureLynne by the way, I use these litter boxes now and it makes keeping our boxes dry much easiser: http://www.felinepinelitterbox.com/ I just shake the boxes and the sawdust settles into the bottom box and dries out. When the bottom box gets full, I just dump it, rinse it, dry it and put it back in place.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Flushing some of it away has been been one suggestions, & light > silicon was another one that won't weight too much as well... I used to flush WBCL but don't anymore, simply because of the constant reminders we get where I live about not flushing any litter. So even though I never had a problem with my toilet when I flushed it, I no longer do it. I buy the biggest bags of WBCL, 34 pounds. It is a much larger volume than 34 pounds of a clay clumping litter. Of course the wet clumps that I scoop weigh more than the dry litter but they still weigh much less than clay. I only completely change out the two boxes when I buy a new bag of litter. Otherwise I just keep adding litter to keep the level up. When the bag is empty I let the boxes get very low before I finally dump the remainder & clean them. I haven't been keeping track of how long a bag lasts, but with two cats & two boxes I think it's very reasonable. -- Liz >I think I have previously mentioned that I order my cat food through >PetFoodDirect.com.
