Pet care can be pricey. Between vet visits and food it’s tempting to try to think of ways that little Fido can start earning his keep. But before you drop your pooch off at the pound, try some money-saving pet care tips.
Stick to the Necessities
The pet care industry is a multi-million dollar market full of cashmere cat hoodies and $16 bottles of doggie shampoo. But is it necessary? Nope. Certainly not. Your pet probably doesn’t need a whole lot to be happy: shelter, food and a toy.
Be Proactive
Keeping your pet healthy now means no outrageous vet bills later. Make sure they maintain a healthy weight and get their annual vaccinations. By keeping your pet in good shape you will both lead happier lives.
DIY Grooming
Take care of tasks like brushing, washing and nail clipping at home. It’s also important to clean Fido’s mouth and teeth to stop the build up of bacteria. Visit Pet-Dog-Cat-Supply-Store.com for discount nail clippers and trimmers.
Choose Toys Carefully
A friend of mine’s dog swallowed the squeaker of a plastic toy. Removing it from the pup’s intestine cost $4,000. That’s an expensive lesson in choosing pet toys carefully. Check out West Paw Design for eco-friendly pet toys that are non-toxic.
Comparison Shop
Just like you would comparison shop when buying a new dishwasher or DVD player, try comparison shopping on supplies for your pet. Visit CheapPetStore.com and search for the products you regularly buy like food, kitty litter or treats.
