Have A Pet? Save on Animal Care

Many of us have a pet of some sort at home. With all the supplies and medical bills that come with owning an animal, their expenses can add up quickly. Here are some tips to keep those prices down:

  • Compare the ingredients of name brand foods to those of the store brand foods. Often times they will contain nearly the exact same ingredients yet the store brands will be less expensive.
  • Keep vaccinations up to date to avoid paying pricey medical bills if your pet gets sick.
  • To save on vaccinations, call your local Animal Control/Humane Society to see when they have “sponsor days” where you get all the shots at once, generally paying about half the price.
  • If you have adopted a stray dog or cat, many vets will give you discounts on services.
  • Ask for samples of new products and foods from your vet.
  • Keep your dog’s and cat’s teeth brushed. Oral bacteria can lead to serious health problems down the road.
  • Clipping and grooming animals yourself can save on grooming fees.
