🐾 While we love our pets, they can often be a financial drain Here’s how to cut down these costs ⤵️
According to the PDSA, the average cat will cost an owner at least £11,100 to care for in its lifetime, while the cost of caring for a dog will be at least £12,200.
If you are feeling the pinch, there are plenty of other ways to save cash without compromising on your pet’s welfare. Pet food is one of the largest ongoing costs for animal owners and 38 per cent of pet owners have switched to a cheaper brand since the cost of living crisis, according to the pet rehoming site Pets4Homes.
“I don’t do doggy day care but the company I work for, Embryo, have dog-friendly offices so I can take her in to work,” says Hannah, who is head of brand and marketing. “I also have sisters and friends nearby with dogs, so we do that at each other’s houses, that way the dogs get to socialise with each other without the cost of day care.”
Bonny says: “Spending seems to work out fairly naturally. We each buy our own food, treats and toys – which comes to around £25 a month – but in terms of big-ticket items, we do split some costs. After my last dog passed away, I was really missing the company but knew I wouldn’t be able to look after a new one on my own.
For older cats who don’t venture outside anymore, or house cats, the cost of litter can add up quickly. The cost for treating Cobweb would have been much less if we had realised sooner that we could order his insulin and syringes from an online pet pharmacy, for a fraction of the cost of getting it direct from the vet.
