Having A Pet Without Breaking the Bank
Saturday and Sunday
1:30pm to 2:15pm
Aware of Americans' concern for their furry friends and bank accounts, Pet Care and Lifestyle Expert Charlotte Reed offers NYC Pet Show attendees a series of money saving pet tips so that they can save money, without sacrificing the care their pets deserve. Reed suggests pet owners practice the ounce of prevention theory: taking their pets to their annual veterinary visits; brushing their teeth to prevent expensive cleanings; and giving their pets Heartworm and flea and tick medications.

She also believes that in the case of luxuries such as doggie daycare and trips to the pet spa, however, there are ways to cut back while not compromising the level of love, care and affection your pet receives. "There is more that you can do beyond buying discounted medications. In some cases, creativity comes into play," she says.
