Alright, so you’ve read my post about everything you need to buy for a puppy. That’s a lot of stuff! Let me share some deals to help you go about getting it…
Facebook Marketplace – Make a list of what you need and keep checking! I found a like new crate, exercise pen, a couple of small puppy harnesses, a kong, and more.
Chewy.com – great website with fast shipping and good customer service. Look for a new customer coupon (or get on chat and ask if they can give you one!), I get them mailed to my house and they are for $15-$20 off a first purchase of $49 or more. Shipping is free at that point as well. Use this deal to order gear and basic supplies (not food, treats, or anything that gives you the option to autoship – save that for your next order below…)
So after you use that first coupon, take advantage of their offer for 30% off your first autoship order. Signing up for autoship makes the items cheaper and you also get 30% off your first shipment. There is a max discount of $20, so you want to spend enough to use that to the fullest. Treats, dog food, shampoo, several different things can be added to your order, keep adding to your cart until you get to $20 off! (only items that say eligible for autoship will count towards the discount) After your order ships you can easily go into your account and click cancel on your autoship.
Petco.com offers 35% off your first repeat delivery as well. Sign up and then cancel as soon as you receive your order. Max discount is $35, so order enough that you get to the $35 discount. A bag of expensive dog food should do the trick. 🙂
Check with your local pet stores, mine offers a customer rewards program with a free bag of dog food after you buy a certain amount. I also check their sales flyers each month. This weekend for example, all dog food is going to be 20% off. You bet I will grab a bag – and use a coupon too! Last week they had Primal butcher’s blend raw meal toppers buy one get one free. This store also offers 35% off your first auto delivery; I haven’t used that yet as I’m stocked up on food.
Where do I get coupons? I emailed a few places telling them I am getting a new puppy and asking if they had any coupons to send me. Tropiclean sent me a few coupons for $1 off and Wellness sent two coupons for $5 off (use this for Wellness soft puppy bites treats!). Stella and Chewy offers coupons on their website. I’ll update if I find any more.
If you use Amazon subscribe and save there are a few puppy things you can add to your shipment and get with that discount. I just did a quick search for items I knew I wanted and checked the price. In general I keep an Amazon wishlist for puppy items and go through and check prices, occasionally something will drop and be a good deal.
Puppy training! You know by now that I love Baxter and Bella online puppy training school. Use the code HEALTHY25 for 25% off the lifetime membership. This gives you access to lessons, videos, one on one help from trainers, live Zoom classes, games, courses, printables, etc. Tons of help and info there!
Credit card rewards? My particular credit card company offers rewards in the form of gift cards. A few of the places carry puppy items (Land’s End, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc). I was able to cash out some rewards and get a gift card to order a super cute puppy coat and a few other items.
TJMaxx and Homegoods carry dog supplies! They both have a nice selection of dog toys, beds, and even treats and chewy things. I also found the softest ever baby blanket that our puppy loves to snuggle with.
Happy puppy shopping! Let me know what other deals you come across! 🙂
