One of life’s greatest pleasures is owning a pet. On the other hand, it’s definitely not cheap. Pet freebies prove a wonderful thing for pet owners who want to save some of their crucial cash while still trying out new products. Free stuff doesn’t just have to be for humans, as you can get your hands on plenty of lovely freebies and treats for your furry best friend.

Keep reading into the following paragraphs to learn why, where, and how you can win all kinds of freebies for your four-legged family member.

Are you wondering why companies and businesses give away any freebies in the first place? It’s no different than why companies in other industries or sectors run their own campaigns offering free samplings. They want to generate consumer interest in the various products and services they offer. The thinking is that if you fall in love with things you get for free, you’ll decide they’re worth paying for later on.

Mega Free Stuff gets daily updates with every one of the freebie finds we can get our hands on. You can track the latest and greatest pet freebies. If you’d rather have all this just delivered right into your email, be sure you sign up to get our newsletter.

Did you know you can feed your pet without spending money? Pet food samples are easily the most popular of all pet freebies.

Pet food companies understand that there’s no pet food which fits all breeds. Just like human people, pets have their own differences, and that include variation in their tastes, texture preferences, and dietary needs.

If you want to figure out what pet foods work well for your pet, a great way to do it is trying out the free samples that so many companies provide.

Would you like to get a free pet food today? You can get 100-percent cash back on your next full-sized bag from Perfect Fit Pet Food. All you have to do is buy one of the qualifying bags before uploading the details of your receipt online. After that, the money gets transferred back into your account, finally making the transaction free to you!

Keep this tip in mind: Free pet food samples are usually far more personal than most other freebies. You’ll typically have to offer companies details regarding the size, breed, age, and weight of your pet. That’s done so they can make sure the food they give you is appropriate to your pet, as well as increase the chances that he loves it.

Product-testing trials are another way to get pet freebies. If you’re like many consumers, checking the reviews on something is the first thing you do anytime that you buy a new product. Detailed and positive feedback from actual consumers provides what’s called social proof, meaning there’s a better chance you’ll decide to try something yourself.

BzzAgent, Trnd, and The Insiders are just a handful of companies that run various product-testing campaigns for many different things, and pet food shows up in their lists frequently. With a successful application, a pet owner such as yourself can be given a test product at no charge, except the expectation of your honest feedback, critique, and review. Other companies that have done this before have included Bakers, IAMs, and Purina.

Fortunately, there are many ways in which you can score freebies for your pet, but if you’d like to just skip to one of the most effective ones, consider contacting companies and businesses directly for free samples. That works great for any company that primarily does its business online, since online consumers can’t actually see what a product physically looks like without a free sample. As such, it’s the only way they can find out if they or their pet would like it or not.

Target or emphasise the distinct selling point of a company when you contact them. For instance, if you contact a company that specialises in making organic pet food, then be sure you mention to them your personal interest in letting your pet enjoy the organic lifestyle. Also, if your pet already has specific requirements which this business is know to cater to, definitely mention that too! More than anything, mind your manners when you email them. Despite how many companies offer free samples, they’re never obligated to do so. Express interest one of their products, and chances are good that your efforts are going to yield results.

Keep your eyes open for discounts and coupons, as these can save you money on pet things. Make a list of your favourite pet brands and then follow them on any social media platforms you’re active on. It won’t take long to start seeing their most recent deals and discounts in your browser. Many of them might be for only 50p off, but if you get enough of them or use them regularly, they can add up.

Your bet bills are another area of pet care you can get help on, and this can be badly needed relief to your wallet or purse. You never enjoy seeing your precious pet in pain, either, so you need all the lucky breaks you can get, right?

Fortunately, there’s more than one way to get some help with any vet bills you might face in the future.

The Peoples Dispensary For Sick Animals

Also, known as the PDSA, it’s the leading vet charity in the UK. They offer free vet services to anyone already getting eligible state benefits while residing in the postcode catchment area of a PDSA pet clinic or hospital. Visit the PDSA website today to see if you qualify for these free vet treatments.

Blue Cross Animal Clinics And Hospitals

These places provide their veterinary services for free to anyone on a low-enough income while receiving particular state benefits. There’s also limited availability of an ambulance service which can carry pets, along with their housebound owners, that can’t get to one of the London clinics on their own. The Blue Cross website can help you determine your eligibility.

Pet Insurance

If you don’t personally qualify for any of the free vet services available, then it’s crucial that you plan ahead. The last thing that you ever want to do is see your pet’s health fall off followed by you getting nailed with a big bill.

Pet insurance is not something which has to cost a lot, so just be sure you do some shopping around for the policy which suits your needs and circumstances best.

If you only need insurance to cover bet bills, just pick the one which covers that. On the other hand, you can pick out policies which cover all kinds of potential eventualities, such as the following:

• Vet treatments like check-ups and operations
• Compensation for the demise of a pet covered by a policy
• Liability for any damage your pet might cause someone else to suffer
• Coverage for costs of looking after a pet should you fall ill or incapacitated

Today, I’m very excited to be sharing my blog post, on the brill new book ‘ The Confessions of Frannie Langton ; by Sara Collins, as I’m part of the book blog tour, eeeep!

So ‘ The Confessions of Frannie Langton is the debut novel from Sara and is coming to shops near you on the 4th of April, not long {2 more sleep, hehe}!

Synopsis 

‘They say I must be put to death for what happened to Madame, and they want me to confess. But how can I confess what I don’t believe I’ve done?’

1826, and all of London is in a frenzy. Crowds gather at the gates of the Old Bailey to watch as Frannie Langton, maid to Mr and Mrs Benham, goes on trial for their murder. The testimonies against her are damning – slave, whore, seductress. And they may be the truth. But they are not the whole truth.

For the first time Frannie must tell her story. It begins with a girl learning to read on a plantation in Jamaica, and it ends in a grand house in London, where a beautiful woman waits to be freed.

But through her fevered confessions, one burning question haunts Frannie Langton: could she have murdered the only person she ever loved?

My Thoughts

★★★★★ – 5/5

This is historical fiction book set in the 1800s, which I instantly loved the idea of, it’s set in both Jamaica and London. Told by Frannie herself, it follows her life, from starting in a Jamaican sugar plantation to when she moves to London and is give as a gift from Mr Langton to George Benham. 

At the start of the book you get drawn in as Frannie is on trial for the murder of both Mr & Mrs Benton, I was immediately hooked, desperate to see how this unravelled as I delved further and further into the book!

The book focuses around some really important topics which in the 1820s there was a limbo with what was happening with slavery. Sara bring slavery into this book from the start as Frannie explains about her life, and where she is. Also the way people act due to the colour of there skin is highlighted, and they way the find themselves superior and more in control. Also the idea of class, and who is more superior, etc. 

I found it very interesting that Sara used to read Jane Eyre, and Pride and Prejudice, but she felt as if there was nothing in them that related to her fully, she really wanted to add a Jamaican former slave into the mix whom had her own gothic romance, so she made her own with Frannie. You really feel the anger within Frannie too which adds great into the mix, as generally in something historic it’s not how the characters are portrayed. 

I love the style in which it was written from Frannie’s perspective as you feel as though you get to know her, as if she’s talking / writing to you personally. I just loved this book from start to finish, I know I’ll be re reading it again in the future, and currently recommending it to everyone I know!

I really recommend you grabbing this book, as I think it’ll be one of the best releases this year, if not THE best. I think it’ll become a classic in years to come, something people read again, and again!

Also, quick note on the book cover, and inside, like wow, what an utterly beautiful book in itself, I know, I know, you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but this is beautiful, with the bees {fave}, and the flowers inside, it’s truly beautiful. 

keep up with all the other amazing bloggers reviews too that are coming up!
