Pet Supplies and Reorder List

Who this is for

What is in the pet cupboard and what is running out. Each line holds the item, how many you have, the level you reorder at, the price you paid and the value of what is on the shelf. Tick the reorder box and the summary counts how many lines need buying.

Households that buy pet food and litter in bulk, people with several animals and a cupboard nobody can see the back of, and anyone leaving a sitter to find things.

What this helps you track

• Everything the animals need, by category, in one list
• How much of each is in the house right now
• The level you have decided to reorder at, in your own figures
• What each line is worth, and what the cupboard comes to
• Which lines are on the shopping list this week

How to use it

1. Write the household, the date you counted and the currency at the top.
2. List the items you buy for the animals — food, litter, bedding, treats, health and grooming things — one per line.
3. Count what is actually in the house and write it in the quantity column.
4. Set your own reorder level for each line: the point at which you would rather buy than risk it. No level is suggested here.
5. Enter the price you last paid; the line value and the totals are worked out in the browser and the workbook.
6. Tick the reorder box as you go round, and take the ticked lines to the shop or the basket.

Formats

• Printable PDF (A4 and US Letter)
• Fillable PDF with form fields
• Fill in online, saved in your browser
• Excel / Google Sheets workbook

The printable is laid out inside a box that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the two files are identical and neither one is scaled. The fillable PDF has real form fields. The workbook uses plain formulas only — SUM, IF, COUNTIF and the like — so it opens in Excel, LibreOffice and Google Sheets without anything breaking, and every calculated cell is grey so you can see which figures it worked out.

How to print

Download the A4 or US Letter file to match the paper in your printer, open it in a PDF reader and print at 100% — not "fit to page", which shrinks the writing space. Both files leave a 14 mm margin, which clears the unprintable edge on home printers. To print the online version with your entries in it, use the Print this sheet button, which prints only the sheet and none of the page around it. More on printing.

Questions

What reorder level makes sense?

Yours. It depends on how fast you get through a bag, how far the shop is and how much cupboard you have. The column exists so the figure is written down rather than remembered.

Does it price anything for me?

No. Prices are whatever you paid, typed in by you. The sheet multiplies the quantity by the price and totals the column; it knows nothing about what anything costs.

Can I use it for medicines?

List what is in the cupboard by name, with what is left, by all means. What any medicine is for and how it is given belongs with the medication log and your vet's instructions, not here.

Is it a shopping list or a stock list?

Both, which is the point. It records what is there, and the ticked lines are what needs buying. Clear the ticks after a shop.

Will it work for a rescue or a small breeding set-up?

Yes — it is just a counted, valued list, and the category column takes whatever labels you use. For a business, the stock take and inventory sheets carry more detail.
