How To Save Money on Pet Care?

As a pet owner I love my pets and want them to recieve the best possible medical care. At the same time I want to save money where possible. I strongly believe in spending money on the occasional professional grooming. Other than standard shots and vaccinnes I do little more in preventative medicine other than spaying and neutering and teeth cleaning. The best way to save money on pet care is to not spend too much on extras. Pet vitamins, advanced preventative treatments, and very expensive food are not needed in most cases.
