We are lucky enough to have a vet.

How do you all order through Midwest unless you have a veterinarian license? I mean as a rescue facility? I started the application, but it is requiring a veterinary license

- Agreed to switch over to Rescue vs using the bleach to clean. Rescue can be used as a complete alternative to bleach, for both cleaning and disinfection, because it helps you eliminate the same pathogens that bleach kills, but in a safer and faster way. Also eliminates the need for detergent that needed to be used prior to using the bleach.
- We use donation pleas for items we are low on and if sent out to the public soon enough it may offset the cost of certain items needed to be bought! Example, Dawn dish soap, laundry detergent, linen, trash bags, french fry trays, sponges etc
- We use shredded donated newspaper as litter when low and also is easier to clean up-less clay bits around the room means faster cleaning.
- The places I order most from are Office Basics and Amazon for cleaning supplies as they usually have fast or free shipping

We started ordering Rescue in 55 gallon drum through Midwest Vet Supply. It saves us about the cost of a 5 gallon bucket each order. Have you considered Shelters United? They have similar pricing to Midwest Vet Supply.

We have just expanded! Due to generous donations, we have added three new small buildings (pods). Every month like all of you I'm sure, we spend hundreds on cleaning supplies (bleach, paper towels, gloves, etc). We purchase quite a bit from WalMart. I am trying to explore commercial cleaning supply companies or other resources to explore money saving options as we will now be using double the amount of supplies. I am looking for any ideas or methods used by other rescues and facilities as to how yall save or utilize outside sources in purchasing your supplies. All help is greatly appreciated! As we all know, we are not millionaires so every penny counts haha!
