How to get free pet food and treat coupons for cats or dogs
Supermarket coupons, cashback, plus save 10% off at Pets at Home
Pets aren't free, and usually react even worse than children when you try to downshift their dinner, so with the cost of living crisis showing no signs of letting up, is there any way to save money on your pets quickly and easily? I've found a few apps that could help, but it's worth noting most (not all) discounts are mainly for cats or dogs.
Shopmium – cashback app for use in most supermarkets
Shopmium is a popular cashback app with MoneySavers as you can often get big discounts or completely free products. To use the app, you'll need to buy a product, upload a photo of your receipt, and then scan the product barcode to receive cashback into your account. Shopmium automatically pays out into your nominated bank account so it's quite user-friendly.
It frequently features coupons for pet products (see below for those available now), so is worth a look for your furry friends.
Read more about Shopmium, how to use it, and nab a free £2 chocolate bar via our code (do NOT feed chocolate to your pets, it's for humans only!).
Magazine coupon for Tesco only, valid in-store or online
Pick up the June edition of the free magazine from Tesco (find your nearest*) to get a coupon for £1 off Bakers dog food adult, puppy or small 1.1kg to 1.2kg that you can use in-store. If shopping online, use code GR7HTN until Saturday 31 May. When we checked, the products were £2.20 before using the coupon.
Via Cashback. Get the item from major supermarkets
If you buy a pack of Go-Cat 750g cat food from major supermarkets, you can get up to £3.50 back – paid into a PayPal or bank account – via marketing platform Hashting.
To claim, go online to Hashting (it's best viewed on a mobile), and confusingly you'll be sent another link to claim via WhatsApp, or if you'd prefer, sent via text message – so you'll have to give your mobile number if you don't use WhatsApp.
This offer will end at 11.59pm on Monday 30 June or more likely when 2,000 redemptions have been made – so go quick if you want it. Each household can apply for cashback once.
Eligible varieties:
-
Duck & chicken
-
Herring & tuna with vegetables
-
Chicken & turkey with vegetables
-
Senior chicken & turkey with vegetables
-
Junior chicken & turkey with milk
-
Indoor cat chicken & turkey with vegetables
Hashting says you should receive your cashback within 30 days – see full terms and conditions.
More info
Hashting describes itself as something like an 'app-less' cashback app, as all the links and information you'll need to claim is sent to you via text message or WhatsApp, so unlike apps such as Shopmium, Topcashback, or Quidco you don't need to join up.

You won't receive your cashback immediately – you can only request it once you've accumulated £10 in cashback via Shopmium, so bear in mind it could take a while to get the saving back, as you'll need to earn cashback on multiple items before you can withdraw it.
More info
Check the app before you buy to ensure you've been offered the deal, and don't buy unless it's something you'd use anyway. It's worth going quickly if it's something you want, as we've seen offers like this finish early.
How to get the cashback
-
Buy the correct product. Check the product to be sure you get the right item (be extra sure you've got the right size). With Shopmium, if you're shopping in-store you can even use the app to scan the barcode to be sure you've got the right one.
-
Get and keep your receipt. Make sure you get a printed receipt in store, or with your delivery/click and collect order if you shop online. You'll need this for your cashback.
-
Take a photo of your receipt and upload. To get the cashback, you need to photograph the receipt and upload it in the app to get the money back. You'll also be able to use a photo of your online order if you shopped online.
-
Keep the packaging with barcode. You'll also need to scan the barcode when you upload to be sure you've bought the right size/flavour of product
-
Request your cashback once you've reached Shopmium's £10 withdrawal threshold. You need to physically request your cashback once you've accumulated at least £10 within the Shopmium app. Your cashback will be paid into your PayPal or bank account, whichever you choose, within approximately 3-5 working days.

Supermarket codes and coupons
Sainsbury's sometimes has freebies such as dog chews available via online codes, but this is only for an online shop so you'd need to do a full shop online to take advantage of this. You can check the Sainsbury's website to see if there are any codes for pet food in future, as none are available right now.
Tesco has previously run online offers where you can get, for example, £4 off a £20 spend on selected pet products, so even though it's not running a similar offer right now it's worth looking out for in the future. Tesco also has an in-store magazine which frequently features coupons, and this month there is a pet coupon (see below).
We don't currently have any deals.
Pets at Home app – Money off coupons for use in Pets at Home in store or online only. Plus 10% off first order
Gone are the days where you'd pick up a magazine at Pets at Home for generic coupons, or even have bespoke coupons sent to your house. You'll need to sign up for a Pets at Home account, and then download the Pets at Home app to your smartphone to get coupons now.
When I tested the offer, I was given 10% off for signing up as an introductory offer, but I didn't get any coupons until the month after I'd shopped at Pets at Home, so you won't get coupons immediately. The coupons were relevant to my cat though, as well as generic enough (aside from one) that they aren't limited by brand - which helps as she can be picky!
The coupons I was given for this month (see below) include, for example, £1 off a single pack of cat food - which means I could either get a pack for 9p (normally £1.09) or totally FREE if I picked up a 69p can of cat food.
