These days we simply can’t afford those high-priced vet bills.

So here is a list of things you can do to cut the cost of veterinary work.

Guide To Avoid A Trip To The Vet

Use a lead.

Unless your dog is perfectly trained to return when he is running around off-lead, you should be cautious about where to let your dog run free.

Leads prevent dogs from walking into long grass or waters that are home to pests, running onto busy roads, eating things they shouldn’t, etc.

Mind your dog's teeth.

Plaque-busting treats are a great way to keep plaque at bay, and they should be given to your dog regularly.

Although these can help prevent tooth decay – brushing your dog’s teeth is the only way to get them clean, so brush your dog’s teeth once a week to avoid dental diseases.

Buy the right food.

Wet food is fine when used once in a while, but dry dog food should be their staple diet.

Wet food is very soft and high in water, and therefore will not help harden your dog’s teeth and gums, or give them a high enough amount of nutrients.

Also look for dog foods that contain the correct nutrients for your dogs, such as chondroitin and glucosamine to prevent bone and joint problems.

Ask for help in any Petworld store and our staff will find the best dog food suited to your pooch.

Protect your dog from fleas and worms.

Make sure you buy flea drops/collars/shampoos, such as Bob Martin flea and tick spot-on, to protect your dog from excessive scratching.

Also buy worming tablets, like Troscan one dose wormer, regularly to keep your dog from contracting any nasty visitors!

Ask our staff what wormer and flea treatment is best for your dog.
