Thomas the Dog is always hard at work, helping out with those. So what are some of our favorite gifts for pets this holiday season? Here are the six ideas from Savings employees for you:

Happy National Pet Month! The Savings crew loves pets, and we always have a few of our furry friends scampering around the office. There's something nice about being able to take a break by playing a game of catch with one of the dogs.
Owning a pet has shown to have a number of benefits- with pet owners generally getting more exercise than their pet-less peers, and helping to ease feelings of lonliness by providing companionship. However, buying a pet can cause a strain on the wallet, especially if you don't take measures to budget your spending.
PetFinder.com estimates that the first year of owning a small dog will cost nearly $800, and that number jumps to $1500, when you're talking about a large breed.

Owning a pet brings joy to many people's lives but there are also the
financial obligations to consider. A
majority of a pet's basic needs fall under the major categories of
food and health care. Veterinarian visits for vaccinations, medications,
and emergency care can add up to a lot of money over the course of an
animal's lifetime. If you are thinking about getting a pet, but worried
about the expense, you should know that are many effective ways of
keeping pet care costs low.
Experts advise pet owners to have their dogs and cats vaccinated
once a year against rabies and distemper. Pet owners should keep an eye our for local
vaccine clinics where animal protection agencies offer rabies shots for
a big discount and sometimes even for free.
People who are not interested in breeding a pet should have the animal spayed or neutered. Check with your local animal shelter for low
cost spaying and neutering clinics. Some areas offer this service for
free, because local agencies are concerned about the high population of
abandoned pets.

Money Saving Tips
What do you get as a holiday gift for the person who has everything? A hand-crafted ice sculpture of the Virgin Mary for their kitchen? Nah, too modest. A shower curtain made entirely of gold flakes? Nah, too assuming. The entire Harry Potter series on Blu-ray? Nah, too hipster. You could really wrack your brain for hours trying to come up with something so perfect, so
cool, so unique and out of this world that your friend will not be able to believe their eyes...
Oh, I know! How about a
DJ Cat Scratch Turntable?? It's the perfect gift, because they'll never see it coming and even if they don't have a cat, how could they not appreciate this gift of awesomeness?

Sure Craiglist and
eBay are great, but sometimes for one reason or another you need an alternative. There are some items that just aren't allowed on those sites--not even illegal or unseemly stuff either; dogs, cats and other pets for example. Everyone knows that
buying used is the number one best way to save your money, especially on durable goods that don't wear out, so here are some places to find that stuff.

If you're like me and you are online more than 8 hours every day (
even if I didn't work from home, I guarantee I'd spend half my life on this new-fangled contraption)...AND you have two cats who like to make beds out of your laptop's warm keyboard (
or curled up against the vents or in my lap looking at the computer or sitting on top of the desktop unit...really, they're not picky), then you know how messy your work space can get sometimes. With pets, the usual dirt and dust, and even eating at your desk, your desktop can be a really messy place.
But I'm here to help. Well, okay, I'm not really going to do anything except point you in the direction of this week's wacky product, the
Dust Extinguisher Mini Desktop Vacuum.
Try saying that ten times fast.
