 Surviving the credit crunch is difficult enough, but add pets which depend on you for nourishment, protection and medical attention, anything that can be done, helps. It’s a sad fact that many pets are given up or abandoned every day, as pet owners fight to cope with the current economic climate. This is very problematic for pet charities who have look after animals when money is scarce, having to rely solely on contributions to keep their pets in good health. Here are a few points which should help make owning a pet on a tight budget a little easier: 1. Consider every animal expenditure? Do you need that specific pet food or product? Easier said than done, raise pets up with variety, both dry and wet, as well as different brands and flavours. Watch out for special deals. You can stock up. Think of vouchers, search on the net for some good deals. Buy based on price per pound / Kg, as sometimes, particularly with special deals, the smaller pack can be more economical. 2.      Is it possible that you can club together to buy feed and bedding in bulk, reducing the overall price and passing on savings to all. 3.      Vets bills are an unknown factor but still have to be considered. If money’s a little difficult, you may find a lot of Vets will allow you to spread the cost, and pay monthly. If you can, afford it – have or keep pet insurance. 4.      Many people can make lifestyle changes! It’s not all about finding ways to keep your pet more cheaply, what about yourself! 5. Can you earn some money? Perhaps find a dog walking  job Dog Walking as a profession Good companies will require you do it regularly. There is also the possibility of becoming a pet sitter, though good companies such as London Pet Sitting will require you also to do dog walking. 6. Do not forget your other animals, you may have put your cats in a cattery, what about considering a cat sitter? The animal may prefer it and the pet sitters often do other things. 7.      Do use external stabling or boarding? Most horses can live quite cheerfully outside for most of the year, as long as there’s nourishment, water and protection to harsh elements available. If this is a suitable option for your horse, it could reduce the cost of stabling greatly. 8. Are you thinking of choosing an animal, please think about rescuing a pet from a charity, they are suffering at the moment. Enjoy your pet, they are worth the cost.
