Not a question of need so much as a wonderful convenience, many
groceries are heavy/bulky, why have to schlep. I recently found a
great source for home delivery of pet supplies, great prices and
free/fast shipping... in two days two huge cartons of cat litter and
cat food were sitting at my garage door. They also sell pet Rx drugs
at better prices than from the Vet, next month I will be ordering
Blackie's insulin, I'll save $22 and a 30 mile round trip to the
Vet... and they phone the Vet for approval:
