Pets: 5 ways to save precious euros

The unconditional love that our animal friends know how to give us is priceless. For this reason, in addition to reciprocating their sentiment, we feel obliged to offer them all the best there is on the market in terms of nutrition, care and accessories: sometimes even exaggerating, to the point of distorting them. Often, however, "the best" is not very sustainable, both in terms of costs and in terms of respect for the environment. For this reason we have decided to suggest some simple tricks to save precious euros and maybe respect the planet more

A "pure" kindness

If you are thinking of taking a dog or a cat with you avoid buying it. Instead, contact one of the many facilities it hosts abandoned animals. In addition to saving a life, you will save a substantial sum of money and help reduce the demand for purebred animals that are often “produced” in an inhumane and illegal way. You will also find specialized staff who can help you choose the best companion for you and your family.

The importance of a good meal

We are continually "bombarded" by an infinite number of advertisements, often even subliminally, with hundreds of irresistible offers for the purchase of food and accessories for our four-legged friends. But often behind the most tempting proposals, pitfalls can be hidden. In the vast majority of cases, foods that are sold in oversized packs and at very low prices are also of very poor quality. In addition to having a high calorie content they can cause in our animals food disorders, often accompanied by hyperactivity, but without giving them the right nutritional intake necessary for growth and their maintenance.
Buying products of proven quality will make you so save a lot of extra expenses; from veterinary visits to drugs that you will have to administer to Fido or Micio in case of health problems.
You will also limit the use of the car, consuming less fuel and polluting the environment less.
(amount saved: around € 300,00)



Group purchases

Another smart way to save a few euros can be to organize multiple and group purchases: food, accessories, pesticides, medicines, games and so on can be purchased in large quantities directly online on specialized sites. Where possible the purchase of one annual supply in addition to saving us on the cost of the single product, it significantly reduces the waste derived from packaging and allows us to conserve precious fuel used for the collection and disposal of the same.
In short, a good way to save time and money.
(sum saved: 150,00-200,00 euros)

4) Walking saves money

Many of us often, due to work or family problems, are forced to rely on a dog-sitter for Fido's walks. Others do it because they prefer to devote their time to something else or maybe because they have demanding dogs and the walk turns into real hell.
Why not instead organize and take care of this need by yourself? You can save a lot of money especially if Fido goes out often. Furthermore, the environment will also thank us; in fact, we will limit the movements of the dog sitter who perhaps comes to us with his car. And don't forget that dog walks are really healthy, both for us and for them.
A very active person or animal falls asleep more easily in the evening and has a much higher quality of sleep than those with sedentary habits.

Watch out for the Pack!

When we buy food for our pets, as well as pay attention to product quality and the fact that it is cruelty – free (ie it is not tested by the manufacturer on other animals), we also try to choose the one that offers us a packaging, that is a package, totally recyclable.

In this way it is estimated that if only 10% of dog or cat owners bought products with the recyclable packaging, we would have 58.000 cubic meters of waste less every year.
(amount saved: invaluable)

And don't forget that an animal is forever. Choose it with the heart.
