Is your pet food budget out of control? Would you like some free cat or dog food? You can earn free premium cat and dog food simply by shopping at PetCo for your pet food needs. I save over $70 per year on my dog food grocery bill with an animal lover's savings program at my local PetCo store, and you should too!

PetCo Animal Supplies stores across the nation offer a program called P.A.L.S. that allows frequent shoppers the chance to earn free bags of premium cat or dog food! Just by doing your cat and dog pet food shopping at PetCo, you will be on your way to earning free pet food.

How Do I Join this Savings Club?
To get a PetCo P.A.L.S card, simply ask the cashier for an application. It takes less than two minutes to fill out the application that includes name, address, email, phone number and a few questions about your pets. The free card will also give you savings on hundreds of items in the store. Just look for the P.A.L.S stickers hanging off the price tags. You will only receive those sale prices by showing the cashier your P.A.L.S card.

Each time you purchase premium cat or dog food at your local PetCo store, show the cashier your PetCo P.A.L.S card and your purchase will automatically go on a tally towards earning your free bag of pet food. The best part of the program is that you do not need to save receipts, UPC codes or bag labels for this program. Your purchases are electronically tallied at the cash register for your convenience!

When Do I Get My Free Cat and Dog Food?
Approximately 4-6 weeks after you have purchased 10 bags of the same brand, type and size of pet food, you will receive a letter in the mail from PetCo that includes a coupon for a free bag of the food you have been feeding your cat or dog! Your 10 bags of food need to be purchased within 12 months of your first bag purchased, to be eligible for the free pet food program.

With my two large breed dogs, we go through approximately one 40lb. bag of dog food every two weeks, so we tend to earn a free bag every 5 months with the PetCo P.A.L.S program. That adds up to over $70 of savings each year on my pet grocery bill!

We do this too :-) Last year they opened a new store and the Purina guy was handing out coupons for a free 20 lb. dog food he flirted with my daughter and gave her 20!!! It was a great way to save some money :-)
