Thousands of dollars in vet bills are causing struggles and you are beating yourself up about not signing up for pet insurance sooner…

When we adopted our dog Sally, we knew she’d be going everywhere with us. We have many adventures planned and want her to be on as many of them as possible.

We feel much safer knowing our Sally has a seatbelt and is safe in case we get in an accident. We’ve reviewed different car restraints for dogs for you to consider. You won’t need all three for your dog, but you may notice that once stands out from the rest, so be sure to read about all of your options below…

You’ve just gotten this adorable, new puppy and love playing and snapping photos of him to share with your friends. Unfortunately, he’s a bit rambunctious and enjoys eating q-tips, bobby pins, pennies and other not so doggy friendly “snacks”. What do you do?
