Is the economy nipping at your wallet? Make your pet budget go further with these handy tips: 

• Keep dry food fresh and pest-free by storing in air tight containers. Example: Top Paw Airtight Pet Food Storage Container 
• Invest in canned food lids for wet food to help prevent spoilage.
• Make a can of wet food last a few more meals by mixing it with some kibble. It’s cost effective and can help keep your pet’s teeth clean. Consult your vet before modifying your pet’s diet.
• Buy treats in resealable bags to keep them fresh.
• Grow your own catnip with kits available at PetSmart and other retailers.

• Buy bulk sizes of food and other supplies.
• Buy high-quality collars and leashes that can stand up to daily wear and tear.
• If you have a new puppy, choose a crate with a divider panel that he can grow into. Check out PetSmart's Dog crate buying guide to help choose the right crate for you.
