Purina Health and Wellness App: A cool way to keep up o date on your pets needs

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Triad Retail Media for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Let me introduce you to the Purina Pet Health App which is for both iPhone and Android operating systems As you all should know I have Roxy, a Beagle Jack Russell Mix and Molly, a Beagle Corgi Mix. I also have 5 cats so this would definitely help me keep track of everything with my pets.  You can keep appointments such as vet and the groomers. As well as record all your pets health information and history to have it at your fingertips. This would b especially useful in an emergency so you didn't have to gather all the records  if your pet had to go to an emergency vet. If you have a phone that you are able to use this app I definitely recommend it.  I know if I get a new sell hone I will be downloading this app. If you are a pet owner please download here.

 

Your Pets

 

Your Contacts

 

 

 

 

As you can see it is a pretty cool app and a must for all pet owners, especially if you have more then 1 or 1 that has lots of health problems that is hard to keep track of.

Saving Money at Walgreens

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Walgreens is offering a special discount on an annual membership for its Prescription Savings Club. Walgreens Prescription Savings Club cost only $35 for a year. A family membership covers everyone i your immediate family, including a spouse, dependents 22 and younger and even your pets. What other prescription savings plan even includes your furry children? Join and receive discount prices on your prescriptions. Individuals is $20 so the family plan is the way to go even if its just you and a dog or cat. If you have 5 cats and 2 dogs like I do saving on pet prescriptions would come in handy when your pets get sick or if they have to take medication on a daily basis because of a heath problem. It is much cheaper to get your pets prescriptions at a  human pharmacy then it is to get them at the vet.

 

Other benefits include Savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications. Discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions(which is great because most pet insurances do not cover prescription), nebulizers, and diabetic supplies. Bonuses when you purchase Walgreens brand products and photo finishing services. I love Walgreens photo department.

Mr. Chewy Review: A Great way to shop for pet supplies

I recently got to try out a new pet food and supplies delivery service, Mr. Chewy. Especially in the winter I hate having to carry pet food and supplies in the cart to the checkout to my car into my home, Mr. Chewy solves all this by FedEx bringing me my box of pet supplies. What is also great is that you can have them send you the pet supplies on a regular basis and get a discount which I am considering once I realize how often my pets go through their food.


As you can see everything is in great condition!

I had a $50 gift code Mr. Chewy provided me to be able to review their site. I chose a case of 12 cans of Merrick Grammy's Pot Pie, 2 Merrick Flossies and a Merrick G.I. Bone for my dogs and a variety pack of Tiki Cat canned cat food for my 5 cats to try. They have great prices and a great variety with over 70 brands of pet food (actually think its over 80 brands now) All of the prices from the products I got and get for my pets they are within a $1 or so of being the same price and cheaper for some things. For example Felidae 15lb bag is $27.99 on Mr. Chewy and $33.99 at my local Pet store. The flossies are $1 more at my local Pet Store.



Roxy loves chewing on her Flossie and can't wait for me to get her another from Mr. Chewy



Molly loved her Flossie





Happy and Spunky especially loved the Tiki Cat

What was so great was that if you spend over $49 the shipping is free so I got to spend the whole gift code for goodies for my pets. Even if you spend less then that shipping is only $4.95 which is still a great deal. Also it only took 3 days to receive everything I ordered which was super fast. It was way easier then having to go to my local pet store because often they don't have what I want anyways and no having to waste gas or go out in the cold. Mr. Chewy my 7 pets give you 28 paws up, way to go, I will definitely be ordering again. Another feature is they have great customer service available 24/7 so if you realize your running low on food you can even order in the middle of the night.

Disclosure: I received a $50 gift code to be able to do this review. All opinions are my own, my pets and I loved our experience with Mr. Chewy
