| 3820.1 | I think they've moved... | MCIS5::MCDONOUGH | | Tue Jul 24 1990 19:27 | 11 |
| Is that the one that was in Minnesota??? If so, they've moved,a nd I
don't know their new location..
I do have another company in N.J. that sells most of the same stuff,
and some that they don't sell, and their prices are MUCH better...
I'll post the name/number here tommorrrow, and an idea of some prices..
We used to buy a product called "Orange Power" from the Minnesota
company, and we now buy direct from the manufacturer...

| 3820.2 | That's the one! | CSSE::CST | isn't that a moon cat? | Tue Jul 24 1990 19:48 | 16 |
| Yes john, they are the ones from Minnesota! That would be great to get
another name. I thought the prices weren't too bad at this company!
How good is that orange power? It is still in the MAHC catalog for
20oz on sale for 12.59 and a gallon for 37.99.
The other point to make about this company: I was told about a month
ago when I placed my last order, that their prices should be getting
better due to a larger warehouse. They will probably be buying in
larger quantities and pass on the difference to us.
Does anyone else out there have suggestions on good places to order
supplies from?

| 3820.4 | I think "Orange Power's" the greatest!! | MCIS5::MCDONOUGH | | Tue Jul 24 1990 20:22 | 26 |
| Re .2
We were buying "Orange Power" from Master by the gallon, but we now
buy direct for 29.00/per gallon...of course, we've been named a
"Kennel" by the manufacturer, and we bought 5 gallons last time.
I think it's the best stuff going. We even mixed it with the dog
shampoo and bathed them in a diluted form of it, and got rid of their
fleas!!! Yup...fleas HATE the stuff. It also cuts stains, can be used
on fabric, and it doesn't pollute the environment. When you mix it with
water and use it, it smells just like a newly cut fresh orange.
You can't use it in a plastic container unless it's diluted though,
since it'll melt the plastic...
I wish I could remember the place in Jersey...I just got an order
from them about a week ago..."Urine Kleen", which we needed for the new
tomcat that we acquired (See the "Luke-the-Drifter" note) since he
sprayed a little after we brought him inside, was 3.25 for a spray
bottle, and the local stores around here get $7.00 for the same size. I
think "Master was getting around $5.00 for it...
I'll get the name and number and post it...the people were really
nice and very helpful and courteous as well, Not that I've got anything
against Master..we've used them and had good service.

| Just for price comparison, Foster and Smith offers the 16oz size
of Orange Power for $12.99.
They are very high on vaccines, but a lot of the items that I use
they have for a good price.

| 3820.7 | | WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO | set home/cat_max=infinity | Wed Jul 25 1990 15:57 | 19 |
| I found another one, Wholesale Veterinary Supply, Inc., P.O. Box
2256, Rockford, IL 61131. Phone number is 1-800-435-6940.
The catalog that I have for them is about a year old, but some prices
are:
Kennel Cab (small blue) $12.75
Tokyo cage $96.50
Boodabox $18.50
Petromalt 50gm $2.25
Linatone 4oz. $2.10
Nolvasan Disinfectant 1 gallon $21.50
This is from the summer 1989 catalog so the prices are probably
higher now. One thing that I have found is that the catalog companies
vary in their prices to the extent that I haven't found one yet
that was consistently lower on all the stuff I need.

| 3820.8 | Sounds reasonable... | MCIS5::MCDONOUGH | | Wed Jul 25 1990 16:30 | 15 |
| Re .7
Sounds like they're both in the same ball[ark, what with inflation and
all that...
Another thing that should be considered with mail order companies is
their shipping/handling costs... Ordering something in Mass. from
California may be more costly simply due to the shipping than to pay a
bit more in Vermont fer instance..
I think most wholesalers have a pretty fair idea of what the
competition is charging though, so they can be a real bargain as
opposed to the local pet-supply store..
