1) Shop around for the pet food
This doesn’t mean that you should just find the cheapest food you can find, as all pets have their own needs. Try shopping around to find the lowest prices of the food you already buy your pet. If you keep an eye on the average price of the pet food, and look to see when shops have half price deals on. It is also worth looking out for multi-buy offers and stocking up, just check the expiry dates before you
2) Shop around for your pet insurance
Just like you would shop around for your car or house insurance, it’s a good idea to shop around for your pet insurance. It is important to have pet insurance as it can save you a lot of money in the long run! Just as you would use comparison sites and negotiate with your insurers.
3) Try not to spoil your pet with lots of toys
A few well- chosen toys will be just as stimulating for your pet as lots of toys. If your pet already has lots of toys, there is no need to keep buying more no matter how tempting it may be to spoil your pets.
Even if you dont read papers yourself get friends and neighbours to save them so that you can shred them up and use them for your rabbits, guinea pigs or hamsters. or you can layer it under the shavings or straw to make it easy to clean up the mess, and means you wont be buying as much from the pet shops.
5) You don’t always have to go for a pedigree
Pedigrees can often be laden with health problems due to in-breeding and trying to get perfect features for the breed. There is no reason not to go for a non pedigree dog, not only are they cheaper to buy, but you are less likely to be laden with lots of vets bills with the health issues that come with them. It is important to make sure that you go to a to a reputable breeder, as puppy farms can also lead to unhealthy dogs.
