Owning a dog is a very special experience that gives you a special kind of bond you can't any other way. When you come in from work they will always be excited to see you, and they'll always want to sit with you when you unwind to watch the television (though they won't be a pain and talk through your favourite programme). Not only that but whatever you do, even when everyone else has stopped talking to you, your dog will remain loyal and look at you in just the same way. They get you out of the house, they help you de-stress and they're friends for life. With dog's doing all that for you then, it's only fair that you repay the favour by making sure they have a happy and healthy life.

Dog's may be man's best friend, but they certainly aren't a friend of your bank balance as anyone who's ever owned a canine companion will know. While vetinary bills alone will sore if you dog happens to be inflicted with a trick hip or a stomach problem, even before this becomes an issue you will be required to shell out on a whole host of different pet products to keep your pup healthy and happy.

Making sure you buy these products ...
... however can also save you money in the long run if it helps prevent a more serious condition in your pet. Looking around for a good store is also a good way to try and keep the bills to a minimum.

Frontline - Frontline and frontline plus are great ways to protect against. These products will not only kill the current infestation but will also smother eggs and prevent new fleas from hatching.

Worming tablets - Worming your pet is important not only for you own health but for yours. If your dog has worms and you or someone else touches the faeces it's possible for them to spread to humans and live inside the stomach, or even feed off flesh and cause damage.

Dog food - Getting the correct dog food will ensure that they have a healthy and complete diet. Just like us, dogs need to have a balanced diet with protein, carbs and vitamins and minerals which can affect everything from the shine on their coat to the strength of their bones.

Dog supplements - If your dog has a specific problem, or even if it doesn't, a supplement such as cod liver oil can help keep your pet's joints pain free while even giving them an intelligence boost (so they can think of new ways to cause trouble).

Dog chews - Dog chews are great for two reasons. The first is that they keep the dog quiet for at least two minutes which may seem like nothing short of a miracle if you've got a high-energy marauder on your hands. The other benefit however is that chews will strengthen your dogs teeth and encourage the flow of saliva (which has antibacterial properties).

Dog Shampoo - Your dog may not like it, but bathing is another way to ward of flees and mites and to make sure their coat and their skin remains healthy.

I find it cheaper to order vet products online from registered vets. Two products i recently bought were joint guard, advantage for dogs and a flea collar for my cat.
