Another cost cutting tip .......
Learn how to tend your own. Instead of depending solely on vets for general maintenance care and minor first aid issues.
Whip out a staple gun or stich kit and sew em up yourself. Way to much info available these days to say you cannot do it yourself. When in doubt .....ask someone for help and step by step directions of how to do it.
Just make sure the person trying to answer the question isn't greener than you are.......but suffers from knowing it all.
