Vet care can cost a fortune and the fees can place pet owners in a HORRIBLE position: Go broke paying for your pooch's healthcare or refuse the high costs and watch your pup suffer. Don't let the pressure of these options get you down. Know your options and be prepared!

We all want healthy dogs. But we also want to save money too. Sometimes that concept can put a pet owner at odds with reality. Even the healthiest dogs cost money (food, treats, leashes, doggy bowls, general health care, etc). But vets are another thing entirely. We trust that they will take care of our pups health and save their life in the event an emergency occurs. But just a simple vet visit for a checkup can cost a small fortune! But what can you do?

If you apply the same principals to your pooch as you do to yourself, some answers to that are relatively simple. What do you do to stay out of the doctors office? You exercise regularly, you try to eat healthy, and you (try) to steer clear of the specific things your doctor frowns upon (cigarettes, too much alcohol, etc). So how do you keep your pooch healthy on your own?

We've got some awesome money saving tips on the next page that all pet owners should know about. Get the scoop on the next page!
