1-800 PetMeds has plenty of ways to save on pet medications and supplies. The headline offer is 70% off last chance items, though the savings you'll actually get depend on what you're buying and whether you're willing to set up an autoship subscription. For most shoppers, the best deal will be one of the percentage discounts or the fixed dollar offers that match your basket size.
Buying clearance or last chance stock: If you're hunting for bargains on items the brand is phasing out, 70% off last chance items is as good as it gets. This stacks on top of other savings in many cases, so it's worth checking whether additional percentage discounts apply to the same products.
Smaller baskets under $80: If you're spending less than $80, your best options are the general percentage offers. The 35% off sitewide deal beats the 20% off single order option, so go with that unless you're a new customer, in which case the exclusive new customer offer of 20% off up to $30 sitewide is simpler to apply.
New customers with a basket over $80: The $20 off for orders over $80 will often outperform a 20% discount on smaller purchases. Calculate what the 20% off new customer offer would save you, then compare it to the $20 fixed amount.
Baskets between $120 and $219.99: Two specific fixed dollar offers apply in this range. A basket between $120 and $169.99 gets $10 off, while $170 to $219.99 gets $15 off. These typically beat the general percentage discounts at this spend level, so it's worth checking which bracket your order falls into.
Buying specific product categories: Several offers target particular items. If you're buying flea, tick, food, treats, or dental care, 50% off selected products in those categories will usually save you more than a general percentage offer. The same applies to the 30% off fall essentials deal if those items match your needs. For Apoquel during itchy pet month or Hill's Science Diet products, even more specialized 40% discounts apply.
Setting up autoship: If you're willing to subscribe to regular deliveries, autoship discounts are powerful. The 40% off with autoship offer applies across the site, while 35% off first autoship and variants of that deal also appear. Note that the 40% off first autoship is slightly more generous than some 35% first autoship offers, so check which version applies. The 35% off autoship cap of $20 maximum savings means it works best on smaller orders.
Buying pill hiders with a prescription medication: When you buy any RX medication and pick up pill hiders to hide them in food, you get 50% off the pill hiders themselves, which is a solid extra saving to layer onto your main offer.
Free shipping threshold: Orders over $49 qualify for free shipping, which adds value on top of your percentage or dollar discount.
Remember that at checkout, only one offer applies at a time, so compare what each deal saves you on your specific basket. Calculate the final total with each eligible offer and pick whichever gives you the biggest discount. If you're a new customer willing to set up autoship, the 40% off autoship offer often beats other options, but the fixed dollar amounts can win out at specific spend levels.
