Make a checklist for your pets medical needs: make a list of your pet's medical conditions and needs including shots and other recurring medical expenses and seek advice from your local animal shelters for recommendations or research online for the most cost effective solution. Buy in bulk: Purchase your pets recurring products such as litter or food in bulk to avoid unnecessary trips to the grocery store- it will save gas and money.
Keep your pet hydrated: During the summer, many visits to the vet are dehydration related. This veterinary cost can be minimized by continuously keeping your dog hydrated.
A walk a day keeps the doctor away: Go for a weekly evening stroll with your dog or spend time outside with your pet. Keeping your pet healthy will reduce vet visits in the long run.
Confirm vaccination cycles: Not all shots are necessary every year. Talk to your vet to see if a two or three-year cycle is appropriate. Adopted from http://appma.typepad.com
