    Purrs in our hearts is an online shop selling the Da Bird toy for 5.95 Amazon want 13.95 for it. Purrs are more expensive for the refills but as far as I can tell, Purrs was set up to help raise money for cat rescue in the Uk.

    Can't recommend this site more, have made >10 orders with them and they often send free mugs ect. with your order. Although they mainly sell sports stuff, they have everything! Made a giant order with them lastnight and postage to Ireland was €1!
    You're welcome :D

    Came here to recommend sportsDirect. Make sure to change the price to euro to get the best price.

    I got some of the stuff linked above.

    Lead looks pretty decent, it I dont think it would suit a bigger dog though. I have a Retriever Husky cross and I think normally it would be ok but if she got startled she could probably easily enough break it.

    "Dog Rope Toy" above is absolutely amazing value... its really good. Easily would be €10 in a pet store. Perfect for any size dog.

    "Stainless steel bowl" is TINY, my gf has really small terriers and I think they might even be a little small for them! Just about ok for a cat I think. My Dog would dribble more that would fit in these bowls :)

    Ball thrower is exactly what it is says on the tin. looks pretty decect.

    Dealz:
    You can get fairly luck with stuff in dealz too. They have had decent sized steel bowls for €1.49 before. And you get the odd good toy for that price too. In Athlone the toys change regularly so keep an eye out.

    My Dog also seems to really like the raw hind knots in there too, much more than way more expensive ones we got in pet world

    I ordered twenty of the squeaky hamburger and football sets... For eleven quid, my greyhound is in heaven for months to come! :D

    Yep, my order arrived too, the squeaky toys, ball rope toys, lead and ball thrower all look great!:D The bowl is tiny, I have to agree. Overall seriously good value seeing as Maxi Zoo and all other pet shops charge €4 for a squeaky toy, whereas these are 25c each, 16 times cheaper!

    I will have to try this out! I currently use Aldi floor cleaner and I love the smell but will give this a try. Thank you!

    So... I ordered 2 x 5l - 1 x Tutti Frutti and 1 x Babypowder ... only they sent 4 of each - so 8 x 5l :eek: Mailed them and no reply, called them and the first person I spoke to wasn't listening to a word I was saying and passed me to some other guy... he offered me a discount to keep them but I explained I have no room for the other 6 bottles and he said he'd call me back to arrange collection... 2 days later and I've heard nothing and they didn't really seem that bothered..!?

    No problem, sure that's what it's there for :D my dog is still on set 1 of 10 packs of squeaky toys, I thought they'd last minutes at 25c per toy but they actually are great quality! He is a small cavalier king charles though ;)

    Probably cost more than they're worth to courier them back. Maybe say to them if they were happy to give the ok that you could donate them to your local rescue? (who would probably be delighted with them)

    My first thought was to say nothing and donate them but it's €100 worth of stuff - didn't want to chance it and be sent a bill.:P I'll give them until the end of next week and see what happens.

    It's addictive though, I got loads of toys and stuff when I saw the first bargain alert. Now I get the email updates and on Friday ended up buying new waterproof trousers, himself got cycling leggings and full face bike helmets for his nephews! All for €32!

    €1 Delivery!

    The first order I got took ages, just over a week or so. I ordered again last Friday and the order arrived this morning! Well impressed as it was a long BH weekend in the UK too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    Great thanks! Have a few bits for hols in there too. €5 for a bikini! Seems like a great site.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭andreac


    I only ordered mine on Sunday so mine will still be another few days, but will update this when it comes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,340 ✭✭✭borderlinemeath


    Also I'm really happy with my waterproof trousers. As we are being treated to the miracle of sunshine I can't say for certain whether they are water"proof" but they are a nice quality and a nice breathable lining. Zip pockets and zips at the end for easy removal over boots. I have a heavy winter pair that the lining is almost rubbery in and are sometimes difficult to move in and the pockets and bottoms are velcro which can be annoying. My other pair are unlined and worn out but these are just right.

    And still no word for them !? Calling them tomorrow and asking what the story is and if they want me to donate it. Possibly somebody doesn't want the boss knowing they sent 4 times what somebody ordered lol!!
    Still haven't used the stuff either .... I couldn't decide how much to dilute it and it was too cold at the weekend to wash down the garden :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,189 ✭✭✭boomerang


    Just put in my usual order for Skinners dry dog food with www.vetuk.co.uk

    The prices are just brillo. All the usual stuff I get for the dogs is cheaper on it than anywhere else. I get the 60g pot of Plaque Off powder for €10.60 - it's at least a fiver dearer in all the pet shops.

    I got extra supplies of squeaky kong tennis balls - a pack of three is about €2.50 - they are twice to three times the price everywhere else.

    I also get my (non-prescription) wormers from there too. This time I got their own brand praziquantel wormer - €7.00 to effectively worm both my dogs against roundworms and tapeworms.

    The delivery is very reasonable. Tonight the postage for two 15kg bags of Skinners, the wormers, tennis balls and two pots of Plaque Off was just over a tenner. I kinda discount the delivery charge because the Skinners is VAT free so I'm already winning! :D


    I'm a very happy customer!

    !


    I get the skinners from amazon.co.uk and paid 19euro for a 15kg bag inc delivery. I use the subsribe and save so the bag works out about 16stg. Dependent of course on the type:)

    Got my order from Sportsdirect today. The toys are fab and got the free mug, but the 2 leads i got are very small and wouldnt be suitable for large breeds :-(
    Ill pass them on to someone who might use them, but for 50c each they are still a bargain,lol.

    Which toys did you get? I haven't placed my order yet so would love to know which leads to avoid, and which toys are great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭andreac


    I will!! I saw that thread the other day actually, was funny!!

    Just got a few of the rope toys, ones with the tennis ball on them and then just normal rope ones. About 5 altogether.

    Can I ask does the lead you got come with a collar, I need a new one and was just looking at them this morning. If so would the collar fit a 2 year old lab. Thanks. I got my order on clothes and a bike for my son which was €28 such a bargain. No mug though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭andreac


    No ruby, I just got the leads on their own, the green and red one but they wouldn't be suitable for a lab. Only smaller dogs as they wouldn't be strong enough for bigger dogs.

    I ordered some Feliway refills from Neutrecare in the UK today. 15.50(sterling) per refill and 3.99 postage to Ireland. Usually I get charged at least 10 euro delivery elsewhere. It's bloody scandalous the prices being charged in Ireland for Feliway. I've seen it on sale for 41 euro here and the spray at over 20 euro, I found the spray to be useless though.
