Simple Steps for Saving Money
While Caring for Your Senior Pet
Author, Nick Burton for Professional Pet Sitting Etc.
Your senior dog has a very special place in your heart. So, it only makes sense that you want to provide only the most special care. However, sometimes, that senior pet care can come with a hefty price tag. To help you provide the best life for your senior pet while providing the best savings for your budget, we’ve compiled some low-cost senior pet care tips. Here are some simple ways you can save on all of your senior dog’s health and wellness needs.
Save on Supplies to Keep Your Dog Comfortable
You know how you seem to wake up with more aches and pains as you get older? Well, senior animals tend to have more health issues as well. That’s why senior pet owners should be prepared with the right supplies to keep their older companion animals comfortable. You can generally find the best prices on all of your senior dog supplies at stores like Walmart. Those savings really start to add up when you shop for senior pet supplies online, where you can take advantage of Walmart promo codes and coupons that will give you money back on purchases.
You can use the extra cash to really splurge on some special supplies for your senior pup, such as a heated dog bed to keep achy joints happy. Veterinarians recommend using heat therapy to reduce arthritis discomfort but a heated bed can also help your dog recover from surgery, as well as other health issues. A heated bed is generally pretty safe to use, but you should ask your vet before using heating pads or other heat sources to treat health issues in your aging pet.
Cut Down Veterinarian Costs for Your Senior Pet
As your pup gets older, you may need to make your vet visits much more frequent. You should keep a watchful eye on your pet as he/she gets older so that you can spot potential health problems before they become serious. Aside from arthritis, some common issues that senior dogs can experience include sudden weight changes, oral health problems, and cognitive function decline. If you spot any of these problems in your senior pet, you should make an appointment with your vet as soon as possible.
Of course, more vet visits can add up to more money coming out of your budget. However, even with older pets, there are ways to reduce vet bill costs. Preventative care is always smart when it comes to saving money and your senior pet’s health, so using online promo codes for supplies like nutritious food, supplements, and oral care is a good first step. Pet medications can make up a large percentage of senior dog costs, so consider finding budget-friendly ways to get the same pet meds for much less money.
Reduce Expenses for Cleaning Up Senior Pet Messes
Proper vet care can keep your senior pup happy and healthy, but senior dogs can occasionally make more messes around your home. Senior dogs may not be able to go as long between bathroom breaks as they once could, which can spell disaster for your carpet. Your first step in preventing senior dog accidents may be to hire a dog walker (check out Professional Pet Sitting Etc) to help care for your pet while you are not home. Even with a dog walker, it’s still a good idea to keep some pet cleaning supplies around. All-purpose pet cleaners are always a good call, but you may want to pick up some pet pads to keep around in case your senior pet does have issues waiting to go to the bathroom. You can look for in-store coupons to save on your cleaning supplies, or you can even make your own pet-proof carpet cleaner. Vinegar and some essential oils are all you need to customize a carpet cleaner that will neutralize potent pet odors.
Taking the best care of your best friend is the simplest way you can repay your senior pet for the love, loyalty, and lessons you have shared together, and you can do so without overstretching your budget. So, make sure you have all the tips and products you need to keep your senior pet healthy, and your wallet happy.
