I agree. PetCo and Petsmart can be expensive. I use to have them as an only option. Now I live in the city and have lots more options. I still go to Petco and Petsmart a lot though. You can find some great deals sometimes on their clearance stuff. I just got a pink poo bag holder with 3 poo bag rolls for $2!!

When I had my big dogs I would get stuffies from yard sales and stores like Goodwill. I don't give my dogs rawhide. I would buy up large amounts of bleached bones at dog shows. They usually have a cheap vendor with a nice selection.
