Why Christmas Is the Best Time to Buy Cat Food Deals
During the holiday season, many pet parents are looking for wonderful gifts for their furry family member (because who doesn’t need a fun toy in their stocking?). Retailers take advantage of this shopping behavior with lots of deals, coupons, and promotions around pet food and supplies. Love, Nala, for example, puts together “bundle and save” promotions for our customers.
Whether online or in a retail store, the holidays help retailers clear out inventory on pet supplies (with some exclusions) before the end of the year, which is one reason pet food is at its lowest cost in December.
More importantly, this festive season is an opportunity to stock up on the pet food (including dog food and dog treats) that you’ll use in the new year. With a little planning ahead, you can save an impressive amount of money.
Understanding Different Types of Cat Food Deals
Many cat parents feed their Kitty a combination of wet food and dry cat food. The two forms of pet food combine well to give cats some variety in taste and texture. The two types of food are made in different ways and use different packaging, which impacts both the cost and shelf life.
Deals for wet food or dry cat food may differ for the same reasons. For example, the longer shelf life of dry food allows manufacturers to give more frequent bulk deal savings. Wet food costs more to manufacture, and its moisture content makes it heavier to ship. Those fixed costs will affect both the frequency and value of the deals.
Some manufacturers, like Love, Nala, offer “bundle deals.” These combine different flavors or a mix of natural wet and dry foods. We offer bundles of our can packs and tasty mousse packs, giving cats a delicious and nutritious variety for their diet.
Around holiday deals, consider that canned cat food will spoil more quickly than dry food after it’s been opened. Overbuying may ultimately lead to waste, which isn’t much of a “deal” at all.
When shopping, consider the expiration dates and shipping costs. With wet food, do a little cost-per-can math around those factors to see how much bulk buying works for you.

For pet parents, high-quality cat food, treats, or supplements are an excellent way to make a holiday special for Kitty. Here are some creative ways to spread Christmas cheer...through cat food!
-
A gift card, like one from Love, Nala, is a thoughtful present, especially for anyone with multiple cats.

Potential Risks & Precautions
As tempting as these holiday sales are, don’t go crazy. Overbuying can lead to waste. On that same note, keep track of expiration dates on what you buy to ensure that it won’t go bad before you use it. Here are a few other helpful tips:
-
It's important to make sure that the deals on the food and treats that you buy match your cat’s health and dietary needs. Is it appropriate for their age, health conditions, and any restrictions?
-
The holidays are a busy time when it comes to shipping. That may mean delays in when it's shipped out. Plan accordingly, and shop early to ensure the best selection.
-
Shelf life varies. Once you’ve opened a bag of dry cat food, transfer it to an airtight container to ensure freshness. Cover opened cans of wet cat food with an airtight lid, refrigerate, and use within a day or two.
