FOR JUST $1.60 A DAY, FEED YOUR PUPPY WITH PAWTREE

​As pregnant & lactating Cavaliers (as well as weaning puppies) consume a lot of dog food, we set out to find a high quality kibble that we could confidently use in our program and ultimately recommend to families as well. We were worried about costs, but more so about quality, recalls, source of ingredients and whether or not our dogs all liked the food.


​Here were our non-negotiable requirements:

1. A 4.5 or higher rating on Dog Food Advisor.
2. Reviewed and approved by our veterinarian.
3. Free of recalls.
4. Only used ingredients source in the USA.
5. More than one formula for our picky eaters or any dogs with allergies. 

When ultimately chose PawTree brand and have never looked back. However, we had to find a way to make the cost competitive with the lower quality foods on Amazon or Chewy (or on the grocery store isles). Here is the strategy we (and many of our adoptive families) have used to keep PawTree products as reasonably priced as possible: 
​

1. Join the Paw Club. You can sign up without cost, and there are benefits. We all love benefits and free stuff!
2. Purchase 4 months of goods at a time. The following order is what we would advise for a new puppy parent:

• Salmon Oil, 16 oz., $37.99
• Gastro Pro Plus 60 count ($47.99)
• A large bag of food with chicken and oatmeal costs $78.99.
• For your order to ship for free, add one more item that costs around $15, such as a toy, seasoning, or a bag of snacks. Some of our preferences include the X-tra Fun Toy, the Salmon Medley Seasoning, and Freeze Dried Beef Liver Treats.

 
This purchase should last you for a minimum of four months if your puppy consumes roughly half a cup of food every day. A typical package of food contains 36 cups. When you shop for an extra-large bag of food, you actually get three ordinary bags, equivalent to 108 cups of nutrition (Even with kibble for training and playtime, it will last for over four months). Gastro Pro Plus will last more than four months as a dog only consumes 1/3 of a capsule. Finally, we discovered that a small salmon oil squirt suffices for a puppy to reap all the advantages. Therefore, a large bottle will last until your next order.

1.  The purchase would be the same if you had an older dog, although you might want to order a protein or food with fewer calories. To find out what suits your dog the best, check out the pet profile. You might wish to think about joint support or Chillax (In case there are any anxiety problems at home) for your $15 item (In case there are any anxiety problems at home).
   
   
2. Arrange for an EZ Ship. Again, you receive benefits for this, so we will set a reminder for ten days prior to the auto-ship and make any necessary modifications. For the older dogs, we occasionally alter proteins in addition to our $15 item simply to add variety.
   
   
3. Finally, use the limited-time coupon code INTRO4U to save money on your first order. With it, you'll save 20%!
   
   
4. As a result of this large order and free shipping approach, we can now feed our dogs for just $1.60 per day ($1.28 per day on our initial order) before taxes. This costs the same or less than what we used to pay for smaller bags of premium kibble at our nearby pet store.
