    I guess I should have chosen other. I do buy from our local grocery store. I also go to PetSmart, Huron Pet Supply, and/or Pet Supplies Plus when I'm in the area; and occasionally at Target.

    I thought I was getting a bargain at PetSmart with a big bag of dry food. Boy, was I wrong. Same bag in my grocery store was $1 cheaper.

    I didn't vote cuz I get my cat food at Pet Supplies Plus (cheaper than the grocery store and they carry my brand) and my litter (Feline Pine) at the grocery store $8.99 as opposed to $10.99-$12.99 at the pet stores.

    Cat food, and the rats' food(it is a suebee mix), at Wal-mart... which is one of the only stores in town.
    The dog food we get at a farm supply store in town. I was a bit surprised, yet very happy, to find they carry better brands at low prices.
    We have to travel an hour to the nearest Petco to buy the ferret and bird food.. along with the litter for the rats and ferrets.

    I shop online for toys(mainly for the birds), as well.

    Gosh, if only one store had everything!

    Where don't I purchase pet products from? I work at a pet store so I do pick up stuff here and there at work...usually treats, sometimes toys, collars/leashes, etc. I buy dog food from a local "mom and pop" store because its the only place that carries the brand I've been using. I buy toys and occasionally treats at Target/Wal-mart sometimes...I don't go to those stores specifically to purchase pet products, but if I see something I want I'll get it. I've also bought dog beds from Costco. Basically, if a store carries pet products, I'll definitely look whenever I go there and possibly purchase items. I also order from Pet Edge online a few times a year, I use that mainly for grooming supplies though.

    Me too! The Farm, Garden and Pet Supply store I use carries only select brands of dog and cat foods, I was quite surprised!

    Same. I toss in toys and maybe treats, as long as it doesn't build up my shipping fee.
    So if the shipping is $7 for $45 to $65, and my grooming stuff is $61, I'll add odds and ends up to but not over the $65.

    Local ("mom & pop") stores & the internet. I buy things at dog shows too when there's one in the city. Oh, and since Dance eats raw, I often buy her food in grocery type stores if there's a good deal.

    The only things we get in big chain stores are crickets for the toads and fish food, and only because we can't get those anywhere else.

    I buy some of my cats food at an independent pet store called An-Jans Feed & Supply Store and some of it at Pet Food Express. I buy their litter at Petsmart as well as some toys and collars. I've also bought some toys,beds etc. at Target, Big Lots, and a discount pet store called Pet Club. I try to shop for bargains when I can.

    I get the dogs' food and Andy's food at a pet supply store which is not a chain so I voted "Mom and Pop store." I buy litter anywhere that I happen to be when I am getting low. I look at pet toys also at any store I happen to be in since I am always looking for the perfect toy that will be a real hit with the furry ones.

    My parents buy Niño's kibble at the grocery store, I buy Oslo's food and litter at Petsmart, but next week when I move I'll probably switch him to whatever feed is at Theisen's Country Store.

    For toys, it's usually whenever I see a good one on sale. That may be Petsmart, Target, Walgreens or Walmart.
