I hate it when people are cheap about their pets. I really do. You wouldn't buy second rate things for your children. Second rate clothes, second rate medicine, second rate food. So why would you do it to your pets? They can't speak up for themselves and say, this tastes gross, this makes me sick, this feels uncomfortable. So you need to make sure that you buy the best that there is for them, so that they stay happy and healthy.
If you don't want to pay for the best, why do you have a pet? A pet is a lot of responsibility. You have to walk it all the time, love it, pet it, groom it, feed it, bathe it. You have to make sure that it is taken to the vet regularly, register them, make sure that they have tags. Now you even have to microchip them, because a lot of pet thefts are going on in the world now. So if you are not ready to do these things, to put out the extra money, why do you have a pet?
Yes, you don't have to pay $40 for a bag of dog food, but don't buy the cheap kind either. It really doesn't do well for them. A lot of the times, there's ingredients in the food that make your pet sick. Spend a little more on the food, and you won't have to spend money taking them to the vet for steroids because their skin dried out and started flaking, causing them to have hot spots and infections. Spend a little extra money on their flea meds that way you don't have to keep buying the cheap stuff to kill it for a day or so, and then have to keep reapplying it, and buying house flea bombs so that your house can get rid of the infestation that came from you not getting the good medicine for them.
It really irks me when people are cheap about their pets.
