Life with Dogs: Our Blog

Getting a new dog is one of my favorite things. Seriously, if I weren’t held back by budget and space (and social stigma), I’d adopt a dog every time I drive past a shelter. But as awesome as dogs are, integrating them into your life comes with a lot of stress. Especially when it comes to naming your new pack member.

It happens. Literally every day. Multiple times a day, even. And as responsible dog owners, we know we have to deal with it. And yet, somehow, we still get grossed out talking about it. What do we do with all that dog poop? Hopefully, we’re at the point where we know we have to pick it up (you are cleaning up after your dogs, right???). But then what do you do with it?

Vet bills can be stressful. When it comes to covering those costs, pet owners often face the same question: should I get pet insurance or pay out of pocket? If you’re unsure, we’ve created a free downloadable Pet Insurance Decision Aid. It’s a quick quiz to help you figure out which option might work best for you and your pets.
