Alright everyone – it’s time we stopped looking at budget pet care as a social faux paw.
We know you love your pets, but keeping up with their luxurious lifestyles can be challenging – and costly.
That’s why at PetPost, we work our tails off to offer you Australia’s leading pet brands at low prices.
Need help finding the diamonds in the ruff of affordable pet care – or just some money-saving tips for your next purr-chase? We’ve got you covered.
Switch to Repeat Delivery
With autoship services, like our repeat delivery system, you can save all that time you spend agonising over the latest issue of Vanity Fur, trying to keep up with the trends.
Instead, shop all your pet’s favourite products in one low-cost place and have them shipped right to your door, regularly – whether that’s every week, month or year.
Never again will your hound eat you out of house and home – or your picky pussycat’s preferences break the bank.
And if you and your pet pal have a paw-liday on the horizon? No worries. You can adjust, or cancel, your delivery schedule at the drop of a cat.
Set up your own at-home grooming salon
There’s no need to go all the way to Kit-al Sassoon for your furry friend to feel fabulous.
Seriously – with the amount some of those fancy-schmancy salons charge for a simple sham-poodle, you’d think you were in Bark-ingham Palace!
Instead, why not set up your own grooming studio at home for your dog or cat
Grooming at home will save you time and money – all while getting some priceless bonding moments in with your pet.
So get started by stocking up on all the same high-quality grooming products they’re using in Paw-llywood – and let the pup-arazzi know your pet is ready for their close-up.
Prioritise preventative care
When it comes to avoiding illness and injury for your pet – we got our Sherlock Bones on to crack the case.
Because the cat burglars out there – fleas, ticks and other nasties – are coming to steal your pet’s pep!
And the best way to stop them is to not even let them get close.
So make sure you’re regularly taking your pet to the vet. Keeping up to date with their vaccinations. And never forgetting to look after their oral hygiene – we’re talking a full teeth-brushing schedule, mouse-wash included.
Because you know how it goes: a dental chew a day keeps the dog-tor away!
Get your steps up
Think of exercise as your pet's natural way to cut down on the vet bills. A dash here, a scurry there, and voilà—your pet's fitness is on the rise while your expenses take a dive.
From tail-chasing in the living room to the daily neighbourhood patrol, keeping active is the paw-fect way to ensure your pet's health is as robust as their spirit.
And remember, a fit pet isn't just a happy pet—it's your ticket to a slimmer vet bill, too!
Set up a payment plan at the vet
Do you ever look at your pet-care bills and think, “You’re stressing meow-t!”?
You’re not alone – so don’t terrier-self up about it.
Instead, head on down to your local vet to set up a payment plan. And while you’re at it, budget for any unexpected expenses in case of an emergency.
When it comes to reducing pet-related financial stress, the pug-gle is real. But setting up a payment plan will break up your vet bills into smaller, more manageable payments – so your wallet doesn’t need to howl in pain every time your pet does!
Ask for help
If you are short of money and worried about looking after your furry friend, family and friends may be able to lend a paw with providing food or old toys.
You can also "fetch" some good deals on online marketplaces for second-hand pet products. And if you need someone to help with pet-sitting walkies, don't hesitate to ask your loved ones for a favour.
Upgrade to premium pet food
As we all know, our pet pals are paw-sh at heart.
They’re used to being waited on hand and foot, groomed to perfection, and stared at reverently by their loyal subject – i.e. you.
So stop kitten yourself at mealtimes with generic supermarket brands, and start investing in the higher quality, premium stuff.
Premium pet food may feel like a splurge now, but it’ll end up saving you some serious cash in the long walkies.
Because when you provide your pet with a nutritious, balanced diet – you’ll prevent them running into any ruff patches later in life.
Buy our Budget Bundles
Think of our bundles as the ultimate pet care combo meals – except instead of fries and a drink, you’re getting top-notch products for your fur babies, all at a price that’ll make your wallet purr.
Enjoy the convenience of pairing our top-tier dry dog food with essential parasite treatment or mingling tasty treats with nutritious meals—perfect for keeping your pooch perky and well-fed
And for the new puppy parents, our Puppy Starter Pack is a treasure trove of essentials, from playful toys to training treats.
Our Budget Bundles aren't just about slashing prices; they're about enriching your pet's life while streamlining your shopping.
Avoid waste with proper food storage
When whine-ing and dining your pet pal, it’s important to serve up some food for thought as well.
How much food are you throwing away because it’s stale, mouldy, or attracted one too many fly friends?
To avoid the unnecessary waste, and dollars spent on more food, store your pet’s leftovers in an air-tight container in a cool, dark place. This way, you’ll ensure its freshness – and prevent any spillage.
Because when you commit to proper kibble control and food storage, you’ll start to earn more and more bite-sized savings – and a little bit goes a long way.
Keep your budget tight
With a strict budget, you can learn to look at your wallet half-full.
Set aside allocated allowances – with a separate account for pet expenses and emergencies – so you can avoid overspending on the pet products your lil’ pal simply doesn’t need.
But when it comes to treats, your pet might be after more hair of the dog, so why not DIY?
With five ingredients or less, you can whisk-er up trays of tasty treats. And when it’s time for fun, a simple tied-up t-shirt makes for a great tug-of-war toy.
This way, you’ll save some precious pennies – while throwing in your two cents to create something for your pet that’s uniquely theirs.
