LOWER YOUR PET EXPENSES

With the economy down and jobs disappearing, many pet owners are foregoing pet healthcare because they just can’t afford hundreds of dollars in vet bills. While it is still important to visit your veterinarian yearly for an examination, you can cut out many unnecessary tests and procedures by keeping your pet as healthy as possible throughout the year. Not only is this money saving, it is great for your pet’s health and longevity.
1. Invest in Quality Food—choosing a high quality Natural food is your best chance at long term pet health. The right food can help you eliminate problems with allergies, intestinal problems, obesity, diabetes and other food-related diseases. Although you will spend more at the check-out line, the overall investment should save you hundreds!
2. Avoid pet obesity—Obese pets can suffer from many costly conditions such as arthritis, high blood pressure, and diabetes just to name a few. Feeding your pet the correct portion will control unwanted weight gain and keep them out of the vet.
3. Avoid dangerous chemicals ( see # 9)
4. Brush Teeth—pets suffer from the same dental problems as people and should have their teeth brushed daily to avoid costly veterinary procedures. Apply pet toothpaste to either a soft pet toothbrush or pet finger brush to clean their teeth. Tooth and gum disease can result in infection, pain, loss of teeth and even organ damage in pets. A quick brush a day can keep the vet away! We also have biscuits made for Tartar control.
5. Routine eye care. Keeping your pet’s eyes clean will contribute to their health and wellness by preventing irritation and infection that can be painful and possibly lead to loss of vision. Careful inspection and cleaning once weekly with a eye wash made for pets.
6. Routine ear care. Keeping your pet’s ears clean will help prevent painful irritation and infection that can lead to hearing loss. Clean your pet’s ears once weekly with a natural pet product like Herbal Ear Wash to keep them out of the vet with costly ear infections.
7. Proper flea control. Fleas can be an expensive problem year round. Not only do they cause itching and sometimes troublesome hot spots—they can also infest your pet with intestinal tapeworms. There are many topical products available to control fleas. If you are looking for a natural approach, try an herbal dip with citronella and other oils that will aid in natural flea control.
8. Bath and groom your pet regularly—Choose a good PET Shampoo. There are many instructional books and videos that can help you learn about proper pet grooming to minimize this expense. Don’t forget to wash your pet’s feet every time they go outside. This can help them avoid ingestion of chemicals that may be in the grass or on the sidewalks and streets.
9. Pet-proof your home and yard—Every year thousands of dollars are spent on treating pets for accidents and poisonings. Pet-proof your home so your pet has no possible access to rat bait, snail bait, ant bait, prescription medication, cleaning supplies or even the kitchen cupboards. Pets are amazing…they can smell chocolate through a cupboard door! Insure your yard is safe—that boards are not loose in the fence, the gate latches securely, the trash and recycling bins are sealed tightly and there are no hazards in the yard.
10. Exercise! Pets get the same health benefits that people do from exercise. Try it together…it will be healthy and fun for both of you!

PET FOOD FACT & FICTION

Everyone, especially since we rely on the internet, is an expert!
First, be careful that the Brand name is not misleading.
For example, a label name maybe, JON SMITHS’ ORGANICS
Or ORANICXS. That DOES NOT mean that the food is organic nor does it mean that it has organic ingredients.
There is NO such thing as almost organic or 50% organic.
An organic product should had a USDA ORGANIC SEAL on the package. What that means is 100% of the ingredients are organic.
Second, holistic and organic are two terms that are often combined. Holistic food/ingredients are as close to a natural state without additives and artificial enrichment or fortification.
The benefits are that it generally improves the immune system & nourishes as a whole.
Learn how to read ingredients. They are listed in descending order. Choose foods w/ a minimum of
The following ingredients BHA, BHT and ETHOXYQUIN Many people try to prepare there own food. BE CAREFUL! First there is a chance of salmonella and e.colli. Cats need a chemical called taurine this is derived from muscle meats. Dogs need B12 which again is found in meats.
The food you purchase should have the AAFCO stamp of approval. It is a standard and says “meets minimum standards and is complete & balanced”. Any kind of “meal” listed means that the meat has been rendered,
There is NO road kill or diseased meat in pet foods (period) . Since the pet food scare a year or two ago, quality has been amped up and that is why prices have climbed high!
NOT all dog / cat food is made by the company that has its’ name on the bag. It may be farmed out / made by a larger company but with their specifications. OKAY, your friend / Vet tech / Groomer / Trainer has sworn by the results of this NEW, FANTASTIC pet food that he/she has bought and it does wonders!!!!! Just because his/her dog has done well, it DOES NOT mean that your dog will do well and your dog may not even eat it.
Go to a store that you trust. Listen / read / try a sample. Go w/ your gut feeling. Be patient! See what works and what doesn’t !
