Quick Tips
If the recession if starting to take its toll on your wallet, here are our four top tips to help you save some money on your pets without changing their quality of life.
-
Pet food – If you are one of the 71% of consumers who are still buying branded pet food products for your pets, consider dropping to a supermarket brand to save some money. Try to compare like-for-like so you get the same quality of food and, if you are uncertain, consult with your vet before switching. Want to keep buying branded products? Find out which supermarket sells it cheapest at www.mysupermarket.co.uk.
-
Medication – Your pet is still going to need its medication, including annual flea and worming treatments, during the recession. However, there are huge savings to be made if you compare the price of medications online.
-
Compare and buy pet insurance - If you choose not to buy pet insurance you could well be "risking a penny for a pound". Worried about the cost? If you compare pet insurance you will get a lot more for your money, so if your budget’s tight, your pet can still have the cover it needs.
- Annual checkups – By taking your pet to the vet on an annual basis you can ensure that you are feeding it correctly, get advice on flea and worming treatments and, if any problems do arise, they can be dealt with sooner rather than later, which will likely save you money in the long term.
