I am currently going through a rough time with my dog.  He is very sick and I am very worried.  We don’t have pet health insurance for him, because we adopted him and getting insurance wasn’t feasible.
So when given a choice about caring for a dog, I’ve always said that finances don’t matter. And the [...]

I joined the baby center board for expectant moms and enjoy reading the threads.  Something that always pisses me off, is the number of women who post about getting rid of the family dog.  NOT because the pet is a biter, aggressive, mean, or even allergic.  Actually most of these pets are great.  Rather they [...]

So as a pet owner, there are a lot of expenses associated with owning a pet.  Even a super healthy pet you get for free!  The bills rack up, honestly I’ve heard much like kids.  In fact some people even treat their pets like their children or a member of the family.  I probably fall [...]

For some reason my dogs allergies have been acting up.  He’s been very itchy and completely scratching himself bald and [...]

I just bought Hill’s Z/D prescription dog food last [...]

Well we have to [...]

I ordered a flexi-leash from dog.com.  It’s an online site with reasonably priced deals for dogs.  It has free shipping for orders over $50.  Anyway a few weeks ago I placed an order for a new leash because the flexi which came with our original bichon cracked.  We enjoyed the flexi leash because it gives [...]

I really do love my pets.  My DH and I joke all the time about “dumping” them when they irk me.  But really we’re both just kidding. It’s more in good humor over something bad they did like pee all over the house.  Both dogs were rescues and because we got them as older dogs [...]

I am always looking for ways to save on pet meds for our dogs.  Since we’ve got two, it’s double the cost for medications.  So I try to buy them online and in bulk.  I found this great online store called Discount Pet Drugs.  If you order $100 worth of stuff it’s free shipping. 
What I [...]
