As with everything at the moment, from the weekly shop to energy bills, pet owners might have noticed a rise in some pet care costs too, like insurance and food. My two rescue dogs, Phoebe and Frank, can get through a lot of food.
Between them, they munch through a 12kg bag of high-quality kibble a month, costing around £65. Good quality dog food - is firstly, pretty hard to come by, but also, is quite expensive, too.
We often stretch our dogs’ dinners with a bit of wet meat to trim costs and make our bag of kibble go further, seeing as our usual bag of Canagan chicken has just gone up by around £5 a sack. Personally, I’m pretty fussy on what we feed my two Staffordshire bull terrier crosses, but there’s nothing wrong with a cheat day now and again, much like how a tin of cheap dog food once in a while won’t kill them.
