24-Hour Giveaway: Kroger Pet Insurance and a Chance to Win a $25 Kroger Gift Card

by

PetFirst Healthcare Kroger Health Insurance

Complementing the selection of quality pet food and supplies in Kroger stores, Kroger Personal Finance (KPF) brings together a wide array of quality financial products and services from preferred providers for Kroger customers and their furry family members, including a new “accident only” pet insurance policy for just $9.95/month per pet.

To most pet owners, pets are family too! When pets get sick or injured, most of us are willing to spend almost whatever it takes to get them back on all four feet, but the price of veterinary care does not come cheap. As a matter of fact, according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA) vet bills last year in the U.S. topped $11 billion. For this reason, pet insurance policies are on the rise.

Kroger Pet Insurance coverage starts at just $9.95 for an accident-only plan and includes plans with up to $12,000 worth of annual coverage per pet. Sign up in Kroger’s stores or online!

    We purchase our boxer’s food at Sams to save money & buy treats when I have coupons available. In the past we have used Care Credit for Oz’s vet bills when he had emergency surgery, but we just pay out of pocket for routine care.

    My little Yorkie almost never gets the same food twice – I buy what is on sale or new with a coupon – I have done this since she was born – She never gets bored from eating the same thing!!

    My son works at PetSmart so we get an employee discount to add to coupons. We also save money by buying high quality foods for our pets. By serving better foods, they actually eat less because t here are not a lot of fillers.

    I guess our best way to keep the costs down has been to limit the number of pets. At one time we had 6 (4 cats + 2 dogs), but are now down to 1 cat (plus a 3 year old human :). We think they’re darling when they’re kittens or puppies, but we forget that at the end of their lives we typically pay about $2k per animal.

    Pet supplies can get very expensive, luckily I use the buddy system for my dog. A good friend works at PetsMart corp and gives us plenty of $50 coupons for dog food. Funny thing he has no pets so is happy to help ours out.

    I save money on the costs of owning a pet by paying attention to the coupons for pets, any free pets food can help!

    I buy the cheap dog toys since they don’t last long anyway. I also use the mail in rebates from the vet for the flea and heartworm meds, every little bit helps.

    My best pet savings strategy is calling the company asking for products coupons besides looking on Sunday paper .

    I feel quality of care for my dogs is important. I tried the cheapest vet in town but didn’t care for the quality. So, I found another vet. He is reasonable as far as vets are concerned and the quality of care is far superior.

    I don’t give my dogs treats every day. This cuts down on cost.

    I subscribe to a manufacturer’s e-mails to get coupons for treats. Unfortunately, my dogs are on an expensive vet line of food, which the manufacturer doesn’t issue coupons. But, the store I shop at recently issued a store coupon. So, I stocked up.

    We are very lucky so far with our cat we have yet to have to take him to the vet! But he is getting older so it is time to start looking into insurance for him! For his food of course we use coupons and stock up when its cheap!!
