It depends on how well you save. Unlike pet insurance, wellness plans cover annual check-ups with your vet and some standard tests, routine vaccines, dental cleanings, and more. So, if you know your annual costs for your regular checkups, vaccines, etc., you can save that money in a bank account and have it ready to go when the time comes. For example, my dog’s annual vet checkup, including tests, vaccines, exam fees, etc., tends to be around $250, so I plan for that and just assume inflation will make it slightly more each year. But, if you are not good at stocking money away, a wellness plan can help you ensure you are budgeting for these specific annual pet-related costs.

Yes! I also have a super chewer, and many of these indestructible dog toys have been god-sends to us. In fact, the photos under the BarkBox Super Chewer photo are of our tough guy, Barley!
Our best advice is to talk with your vet before making major dietary changes. Switching off your current food too suddenly can cause stomach upset, indigestion, diarrhea, and even blood in a dog’s stool. A gradual transition from the old diet to the new diet is best. The best way to transition your dog’s food is to mix your current dog food with the new dog food for at least 5 days. This allows your dog’s digestive tract to adjust without stomach issues.
