How to save money on your dog, cat or any pet

Saving money can be hard especially when it comes to shopping for your pet. Dog, cat and small animal food can be quite expensive but how can you save on spending on your pet?

Look around for the best deal

When it comes to shopping for your pets it's always best to have a look around instead of buying it from the first place you see. Many online retailers offer great discounts on all your favourite dog food, cat litters, hay, worming tablets and more.

You might also want to check out your local pet shops (not the well known shops) as they can also offer great deals for your pets.

These are just a few current deals that are going on, but it is worth checking for buy one get one free deals and stock up even if you already have a few packs left as sometimes they can take a while before you find another buy one get one free deal for that certain brand.

Pet toys

So you want to treat your dog to a new toy? Think before you buy! does your dog destroy your toy after minutes of purchasing? It might be worth trying to buy more durable toys or purchasing toys from local charities or car boot sales as they tend to be cheaper than pet shops and last just as long.
