Pet First Aid, Dental Chews, & Toothpaste

I recently ordered the Pet First Aid Kit, Clinical Care Super Clot and Excel Hydrocortisone Spray.

Think about it, dogs can't always scratch the areas where they itch; and they certainly can't run themselves to the drugstore and buy what they need to relieve irritations! 

Thus, we pet parents need to do the best by them we can and have such needs on hand.

I used a $5 coupon, got free shipping and for less than $45, I now have the peace of mind of knowing that my boys don't have to suffer minor issues, needlessly!

And when I had Little Buck at the vet's recently for what turned out to be severe allergies, the vet, knowing my  preference for natural remedies, suggested I buy him either an all natural calming spray that they sold or an anti-itch prescription strength spray, for his itchy butt. 

Their costs were $32 and $25 respectively.  Thus, paying only $7.73 for the hydrocortisone spray from PetMeds was a super savings!

*****Please note:

I had the cortisone spray from PetMeds before I made LB's appointment.  But since I am not a vet and would never presume to know what is wrong with a symptomatic pet I took him in to be seen. 

He displayed what I call "inverted sneezing" and he was coughing until he choked.  Also, his butt was irritating him; hence, the sprays that she recommended to soothe that area. 

Please do not think that having supplies on hand is a substitute for necessary vet care.  It isn't.  It was just nice to know that I already had some of what she advised, at home, for much less!

Listen people, money is too hard to come by, to waste it! 

Even if you don't live pay to pay, why waste it?

Did You Know? 

1 in 4 people will become disabled for 90 days or longer, before age 65, due to injury.  Most people don't have even one  month's savings, let alone three months cost of living set aside.  (Do you?)

And note that the statistic is:

 "...90 days or longer...". 

Thus, if were suddenly unable to work for 6 months or 1  year, DO YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO SUSTAIN YOUR COST OF LIVING NEEDS FOR THAT LONG? 

60% of annual bankruptcies are due to a health crisis; thus clearly, more than half of those, people did not. 

After all that I have experienced as a result of my severe injuries, the only thing about that stat that surprises me, is that it isn't higher.

Just because we don't plan the bad things in life, doesn't mean they don't happen! 

Don't wait for something bad to happen to get spending savvy, start now! 

Shop PetMeds for your furry kids prescription and other needs! 

Savvy Savings Tip:

If you normally would've paid the vet $25 for a product that you can buy for less than $8 through PetMeds, open a savings account and put the $17 difference that you saved, in your savings account. 

Every time you save money by being a savvy shopper, bank what you didn't spend thanks to smart shopping and you will simultaneously build both peace of mind and a nice little savings account!  Even if it's $2, throw it in the bank and watch it add up!

Also, I rarely waste money on shipping charges.  Think about it, if you are $6 shy of a minimum purchase total, don't pay $4.95 for shipping when it just makes sense to order an extra bag of doggy dental chews for $8.99 and get a product for those same dollars and free shipping! 

You know that your pup is eventually going to eat them, so stock up!  If I have no medicines to purchase for my boys, I just buy as many bags of chews as it takes to get free shipping and in the long run, it saves me time and money.

The Vir-bac dental chews they sell are A FRACTION of what you will pay at the vet's for the same exact quality products! 

Which by the way, I'm confident have done an excellent job at keeping my son Scottie's teeth as nice as they have been!  At 9 years old, he just now is showing signs of needing a vet dental cleaning.

Since I take my own advice about saving money, I'm holding out until next February during National Pet Dental Health Month because most vet offices offer a 20% discounted price on that service at that time.  Considering the cost of this necessary service, that's a huge savings right there. 

Until then, I give him his Vir-bac dental chews and I brush his teeth with the Vir-bac C.E.T. Enzymatic Chicken Flavored Dental Toothpaste, that I also get the best price on, from PetMeds!
