One way you can reduce the cost of your pet is to try to make your dog’s food last longer. You can reduce the amount of dry dog food you give to your dog and add extra fruit and vegetables such as broccoli, carrots and apples. You can also use leftovers to substitute for extra dry dog food. You should do this at your own discretion and keep and eye on your dog’s weight and wellbeing. By reducing the amount of dog food you use, it may last for 7 weeks instead of 5 for example. Be aware that these tricks can encourage your dog to prefer leftovers to their dog food so don’t get sucked into that hole!
