Despite snippets of good news here and there, the Great Recession is dragging on and on and on. It's hard enough putting food on the table, but sometimes it's hard putting food in the pet bowls, too.
And sometimes people have to choose between buying pet food or preventive medications, such as HeartGard, putting their pets' health at risk.
If you are having trouble affording your pet, help is out there. The Humane Society of the United States has a page on its website that may be of assistance. It offers a comprehensive list of pet financial aid-related organizations, listed alphabetically by state.
Also, organizations that can offer assistance to people in financial straits can let the HSUS know about their programs through an e-mail link on the site.
Here's the link:

And if you have any creative ideas to pass along on "pet budgeting," I'd love to hear them so I can share them with our readers.
