Does anyone know the cheapest online retailer for Royal Canin renal pouches?

I think it will depend on whether you are prepared to risk buying 48 pouches of same variety Susanne  :shify: 

http://www.medicanimal.com/product/~product_id=807

NB the medicanimal weights for 12 are 195g compared to 100g with vetuk so need to watch for price per kg  :sneaky:

I used to compare medicanimal and vetuk prices and go with the cheapest but only used to get the 12 pouch box.  Only used to get tuna or beef as Freddie wouldn't eat the chicken variety :sick: and eventually went off all of them.

I think you need to spend over £35 with vet meds to get delivery free.  With VetUK it's over £29 but with medicanimal it's anything over £10 I think to get free delivery.

I am prepared to bulk buy a bit to get it cheaper, at least with the ones I know he likes.  I know he likes the tuna so I'd risk buying a larger number of those.  I tried him with the chicken and he wasn't interested.  I think last night he'd eaten during the evening so just wasn't that hungry.  I put it in the fridge, covered, and gave it to him warmed up this morning but he wouldn't eat it.  I gave him some tuna instead and he ate a fair bit of that so I guess he just doesn't like the chicken.  Not tried the beef yet.

I guess a trip to West Yorkshire would not be the cheapest or easiest option!!

in all seriousness if you are nearby we have been donated a lot of renal wet food which we will never get through (our mice maybe but not our cats). we have offered a lot to all our past adoptees and still have plenty in danger of geting nibbled. yes, i know we have thought about getting a cat  ;)
just let me know xx

That's very kind of you.  Shame I'm not nearer to you.  I'm not a million miles away though.  How much do you have?  I don't think it would be possible for me to travel that far just yet but if I was going in that direction some time I might be able to make a detour.  I'm in Manchester so not too far away.
