We love our pets, but they can be expensive to care for. You never want to have to choose between your pet and your account balance, so consider these
simple tips for saving money while keeping Fido or Fluffy healthy and happy:
Get regular checkups.
The money spent on vaccinations, spaying/neutering and routine medical care will pay off in preventing more expensive illnesses later.
Spend wisely on food.
Buy in bulk whenever you can. Find a retailer that carries the brands your pet likes and sign up for its loyalty program, if available.
Groom at home.
Lots of pet grooming—brushing, washing, clipping claws—can be done on your own. Learn how to take care of your pet without visiting a fancy pet grooming salon.
Exercise regularly.
Keeping your pets in good health and warding off obesity will cut down on veterinarian bills in the long run.
Consider pet insurance.
Shop around for some insurance to cover medical care in the event of an emergency.
Don’t forget dental care.
Talk to your vet about keeping your pet’s teeth clean and preventing infections
