How Pet Owners Are Finding New Ways to Save Money Every Month
If you don’t read this article, you don’t actually care for your pet.
Good, now that you’ve been guilted into sticking around, It’s estimated that around 23 million animals found their forever homes during the pandemic. If you belong to one of these homes, or if you are in the market for a pet, you probably know just how expensive having a furry friend can be.
Here are a few tips on how to put a leash on your pet expenses for the future.
Do It Yourself
It’s an animal, it doesn’t care whether something is store-bought. Your dog won’t appreciate the Supreme-branded bone you got her, so stop wasting money when your buddy will get just as much enjoyment from something homemade.
Home-cooked dog treats can be a healthy, cost-effective way to give your pup a reward after listening to a command or for just being a good boy. There are plenty of recipes across the web, as well as treats for cats.
What goes for treats also goes for toys. Repurposing old t-shirts, sporting equipment, or even PVC piping can go a long way with cats and dogs. Next time you want to make a trip to the pet store for a toy, take a look around your home to see if there’s something that can fit the bill just as nicely.
