Introduction
Having a pet can be a rewarding experience, but it can also be expensive. Many new pet owners find themselves unprepared for the financial demands that come with caring for a furry friend. However, there are ways to keep pet costs down without sacrificing the well-being of your pet. Here are four free tips to help you look after your pet without breaking the bank.
Tip 1: Free Puppy Parenting Classes
If you're a new or soon-to-be dog parent, you can benefit from free Puppy Parenting classes offered by Burns Pet Nutrition and Admiral Pet Insurance. These virtual classes give you access to expert advice from vets, nutritionists, dog trainers, and breeders. Sign up at burnspet.co.uk/puppyparenting to get valuable insights into raising a happy and healthy pup.
Tip 2: Educational Workshops for Kids
Pets At Home has teamed up with PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie to offer fun-filled and educational My Pet Pals workshops during the half-term break. Kids can learn about different dog breeds and their individual characters, and even meet the Pets at Home animals. The workshops take place every day at 1pm and include free goodies like a character mask, activity sheet, sticker, and certificate of attendance. Book your spot at petsathome.com.
Tip 3: Free Puppy Hour at Pets Corner
If you have a fully vaccinated puppy under 18 weeks of age, head to your nearest Pets Corner store on Saturdays from 9.30 to 10.30am. You can join their free Puppy Hour, where your pup can socialize with other puppies and receive free treats. Plus, you'll get a 10% discount on all purchases for your furry friend during the hour. Book your spot at petscorner.co.uk.
Tip 4: Seek Advice from Animal Charities
Animal charities like Blue Cross and The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) are great sources of advice for pet owners. Blue Cross has a pet advice section on their website, bluecross.org.uk, where you can find helpful information. Additionally, PDSA offers a kids' pet-themed activity pack that can keep mini animal lovers busy during the half-term break. Download it from the education centre at pdsa.org.uk.
Remember, these tips are just a starting point. With a little creativity and resourcefulness, you can find even more ways to save money while providing the best care for your pet.
