It can be tough to reluctantly spend hundreds of dollars on countless toys and miscellaneous treat items for your pets when your wallet may say otherwise. Here are some budget-friendly ways to treat your furry-friends without breaking the bank!
- Adventure outside: If you have a puppy with tons of energy, try taking them on short hikes near you or venture to your local dog park.
- Make their own cozy pad: Gather up a few cozy blankets and unused pillows to create your companion’s hangout spot in your home.
- Bake some home-made treats: Mixing a few simple ingredients like peanut butter, honey, and flour, cutting the dough into small pieces, and baking them can turn into delicious at-home treats.
- Find a friend for playtime dates: Know someone with a furry companion? Take your pet on joint playdates, this helps when training new pups with high energy levels and familiarizing them with other dogs. An instant new best friend!
- Make an at-home grooming station: Taking your pets to the local groomers can be a hefty monthly bill. Try looking into buying pet-friendly products to wash and groom your pet at home. This can be a taxing activity, especially if your pet is not super keen on getting wet in the tub, but will help you as an owner gain a bit of patience and one-on-one time with your special friend.
- Companion budget: Start saving a little cash every month for a new toy or special box of treats. Want a bit of cash right now? Apply for an installment loan to buy special treats right on the spot, and budget paying the loan back over time.
