Keeping a pet can be a very costly thing, especially as cost of living is increasing. Trust us, we understand, but thankfully there are some great solutions to handling this.
Several options may be available to you:
- Re-evaluate your current spending. Consider what costs you have that you might be able to reduce, such as ongoing memberships or subscriptions you may not be using that could be cancelled or swapped for lower cost alternatives. For example, swap a gym membership for exercising with your dog or go from cable to a streaming service. These costs can add up over time and may help with the extra money needed for your furry friend.
- Consider generic brand food. Ask your vet for advice on how to reduce feeding costs while ensuring your pet gets the nutrition it needs.
- Contact your local food shelter. Pet food is a commonly donated item you may be able to access.
