Cut back on the treats, the biscuits, the soft cozy beds, the puppy sweaters and fancy dog kibbles. All a pet needs is the basic necessities: food, water, shelter and love– which most of us can provide even during tough economic times.

Due to economic crisis many young and even older people were pushed hard to let go their loved pets. Thank God recession is over and everyone can welcome pets in their home again. :

A perfect heart wrenching post. It’s been my experience that families find themselves forced into giving up their canine buddy when they can no longer hold onto their home and are forced to rent. Few rentals allow pets and almost none of them allow large pets.

The economy hit me everyone bad and their pets. I was looking for better ways to save and some tips are: look for coupons for pet supplies and food, even though coupons may not save alot, it adds up! for my cat I found bags f food, and litter coupons, easily saved some money. Also craigslist for toys for cats and dogs, people just want to get rid of the stuff or yard sales, you can easily buy a cat condo for 5 bucks even free on craigslist. Another thing is to look for home remedies when your cat or dog is sick, that will help save money, hope this helped!

Economic recession is bad for both animal & man. But we should take extra cares for our pet, cause pets are dearer than any other things in the world.
Hotel coupon is a kind of discount in this recessionary period.

It’s really sad to see this happening. I now have 2 dogs as opposed to 1, the 2nd was abandoned due to the owner emigrating because of the econimic climate. Did anybody tell him it’s a global recession and not national?

Remember pets have feelings – they can love and so on. If it is exp. you can buy cheaper food for the pet…This is putting extra burden on the humane society in my area as they are taking in hundreds of animals from these raids.

I know in my area there is an increase in puppy mills being shut down. The theory being talked about on the news is in the past they were able to keep their stock sold and the number of animals low. But the economy got them off guard and they have more animals than they can unload. This is putting extra burden on the humane society in my area as they are taking in hundreds of animals from these raids.

It is so sad but very true and this is the harsh truth I can say. People really can’t afford to give living to pets in this economical condition. Hope it will get better and pets stay their home with the people from whom they get love.

With a shrinking economy, loss of jobs, and record home foreclosure rates, it’s no wonder there’s been the “trickle down” effect on pets. What a mess we’re in.

Thats stupid to talk about pet like about “car”. Taking care of a pet can be expensive – everything is expensive now, but you dont push out your son or doughter from home just becouse it is hard now. Remember pets have feelings – they can love and so on. If it is exp. you can buy cheaper food for the pet…there are lots of ideas…

It is indeed very sad, as many pet owners are giving up their beloved animals because they feel they can longer afford to care for them. In addition to the options you listed above, there are also pet food banks that give free food away to pet owners. For more info on this, feel free to visit my website for a national listing of pet food banks.

This is so sad, but if you think about it – it does make sense. Taking care of a pet can be expensive not to mention a bit difficult if you no longer have your own home. Many rentals (if not most) don’t allow pets.
