Pets With Diabetes

January 17th, 2011

Diabetes can be a very difficult disease for humans and animals alike.  If your pet is suffering from diabetes, there are a few natural remedies your veterinarian may prescribe.  A chromium supplement may be added to your pet’s diet and your vet might even recommend changing your pet’s food to something with all-natural ingredients.  As with any post in this blog, you should always check with your veterinarian before diagnosing or treating your pet on your own.  The suggestions in this blog are not meant to be a replacement for a consultation with your veterinarian.

Don’t Let Your Pets Get You Into Debt!

January 17th, 2011

It can be especially tempting during these hard economic times to use your credit cards to finance everything you purchase.  It can also be hard not to spend money on the people and animals we love.  This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be able to spend some money on your pet – but you may want to keep it within a reasonable budget – one that doesn’t involve using your credit cards.

Many pet stores now offer free memberships that can get you coupons off items in the store you buy regularly.  You could also make sure you are clipping as many coupons as possible from your local paper this will help save you money and still allow you to buy fun things for your pets!

Keeping Your Pet Warm in the Winter Months

January 17th, 2011

The winter months are not only cold for us, they can also be chilly for our pets as well.  If you live in a climate where the temperature falls below freezing during the winter you need to be thinking about the health and safety of your pet when it is cold.  If you usually keep your pet outside, you may want to think about bringing them in for the winter.  If you already have your pets housed indoors, you may want to let them use a heated blanket to keep them nice and toasty!

Since the Holiday’s are over there are a bunch of sales going on in various types of stores. Pet stores are even getting in on the discounting – so it’s now time for pet owners to take advantage of the great savings.

Many stores are discounting not only their Holiday merchandise but also having fantastic sales on various items throughout their stores.  Some places even have a receipt printer that prints coupons on the back!

It’s always a good idea to get in on any free clubs the pet stores might have – the free membership can save you quite a bit of money throughout the year.
