Saving Money on Pet Medications and Treats

Medications that I normally get from my vet can be gotten from the local drug store at less than half the price. My cat takes an "ACE inhibitor" for his kidney/blood pressure problems. The vet charges 30 dollars and the local pharmacy charges 11.00. The vet's office was happy to "call it in". It saves me plenty.

I get dog bones from the meat department at my grocery store. They are called "previously frozen soup bones". I give the dogs the raw bone straight out of the freezer and it keeps them busy for almost 2 hours. One dog gets loose poops that resolves in one day, but the other gal has no problems. Then they work that bone for a week or more. The neighbor dogs come by to get the old bones in the yard and it's a nice quiet neighborhood.

Thanks.

I remember studying about raw feeding and they told me that large weight bearing bones will break or wear down a dog's teeth. I love getting medicines cheaper when I can.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Several years ago my brother gave a beef bone to his dog, who managed to chew it down in size & swallowed it. It cost him $ 600.00 to have it removed ( emergency surgery ). Because of that, I quit giving bones to my dogs, only chews & treats that can be digested.
