Los Costos de tu Mascota No Paran de Subir: Cómo Ganarle a la Inflación

Smart ways to protect your furry friend without breaking the bank

Feeling like every vet visit or bag of kibble costs more than the last? You're not imagining it. From food to grooming to medical care, pet costs keep climbingĀ across the U.S. But don’t panic—there are smart ways to keep your pet healthy without letting inflation chew up your budget.


šŸ“ˆ Why Are Pet Costs Going Up?

Over the past year, inflation has hit pet parents hard:

  • 🄩 Pet food: Up to 9% increase

  • āœ‚ļø Grooming services: 7% or more in most cities

  • 🩺 Vet care: Up to 11% higher depending on location

The result? Even basic care is starting to feel premium.


šŸ’” How to Beat Inflation Without Compromising on Pet Care


Here are our Summer Smart Spending TipsĀ to help you stay ahead:


🧠 1. Preventive care is your wallet’s best friend

Wellness plans like Kanguro’s include vaccines, flea/tick prevention, and deworming—starting at just $2/day. It's way cheaper than surprise vet bills.


🩺 2. Use 24/7 Televet services

Got a puking cat at 2 a.m.? A limping dog? With Televet access, you can get immediate advice from a vet without paying for an emergency visit.


šŸ’° 3. Understand your deductible

Most insurance plans cover the big stuff—but you’ll pay a deductibleĀ first. Knowing how it works helps you plan smarter and avoid sticker shock.


šŸ¤ 4. Take advantage of discounts

Some insurers (yup, like us šŸ‘€) offer exclusive deals on doggy hotels, spas, and more. If you’ve got benefits—use them.


šŸ“± 5. Try our free cost calculator

Think pet insurance is expensive? Wait until you see the cost of an emergency without it. Use our free tool to estimate your real risk—and maybe skip that second coffee today. ā˜•šŸ¾



🐾 The Bottom Line

Pet costs keep climbing, but you don’t have to stress every time your pup sneezes or your cat needs a check-up. With the right coverage and proactive planning, you can protect their health—and your finances.
