How to Keep Your Pet Healthy and Happy – No Matter What Your Budget
Tip 1: Keep your dog or cat entertained and active: If your pet is board they are more likely to try and destroy your house, which will cost you more.
Tip 2: Key up a deal with a butcher for bones: Dogs love bones. Ask your local butcher if they can give you some for free or for a small price. Many butchers will be happy to get rid of them.
Tip 3: Human combs for cats: A lot of vets are now recommending a simple human comb to brush your cat with. For only a dollar or so it is worth a try.
Tip 4: Old shoes and teddy bears: What can we make great chew toys.
Tip 5: Build your own hutch: With some cheap wood and wire, and some basic instructions you can easily (well relatively easily) build your own hutch.
Tip 6: Share pets: Out of the box we know, but some neighbours and/or friends do share pets. It means half the feeding and vet costs, but probably also half the love.
Tip 7: Build your own aviary: A few pot rivets and a bit of metal does the well as some training from your local hardware store!
Tip 8: Compost and soil: Yes the left over mess from your animals can grow good don’t need to add anything else to this!
Tip 9: Consider chickens: If your local municipality allows it, then consider having a chicken run. Chickens get rid of your weeds and provide you with organic eggs for free.
Tip 10: Pet shows: They can be fun for yourself and your pet, you get to socialise, and possibly win some money or some prizes.
