No matter how many times we say that “all they need is love,” the harsh reality is that dogs cost money. With more and more Americans struggling to make ends meet, dog owners are struggling to keep their dogs at home and out of animal shelters.

Here are some tips to help dog owners save money!

FOOD
-Buy pet food in bulk; the larger the bag, the cheaper per ounce. You’ll pay more up front, but save money over time.
-Order food online through Amazon Subscribe & Save and get free shipping on regular monthly deliveries.
-If you’re eligible, apply for Pet Food Stamps to receive free pet food.
-A website called www.PetFlow.com offers $10 off any $40+ scheduled order with the code “PFS,” plus free shipping on any delivery -schedule over $49+ (after discount).
-Consider feeding two small meals a day, instead of one large meal.
-Skip the store-bought dog treats; consider offering pieces of kibble or veggies instead. If it comes from your hand, chances are your dog will think it’s gold! (more…)
