Today’s post asking “what is your pet worth” was written by my awesome staff writer Jordann. Enjoy! This is, a bit of a sticky conversation, but one that I think is worth having. A few weeks ago, my cat, Mia, got sick. She’s four years old and has been remarkably healthy so far in her life, […]

I’m hoping this isn’t going to sound too crazy, but I’ve thought about this a couple of times. Making my own dog food appeals to me because I feel like I could create better and more healthy food for my dogs. This isn’t really about saving money, because I’m pretty sure making your own dog […]
