I have shopped at Kroger for many years, but I learned something new recently – Kroger has a Personal Finance division, and they offer pet insurance. Who knew?
For as little as $9.95 per month, you can purchase a pet insurance policy that will cover your cat or dog in the event of an accident. Kroger offers a variety of plans ranging from $9.95-79.00 depending on the amount of coverage you would like, and how many pets you have.
Please note that this insurance is available to everyone online (you do not have to have a Kroger store in your area) and at most Kroger and Kroger Family of stores. You can learn more about rates and coverage and how to purchase this insurance at www.krogerpets.com.
Kroger has kindly given me one $25 Kroger gift card to give away to one of you, so that you can pamper your own pet(s)!
What am I giving away?
1 reader will receive a $25 Kroger gift card, to pamper their pet(s) or to use for whatever they would like

We give both of our dogs gifts. My dogs also give gifts to all the other pets in our extended family.

Yes, we have stockings for all 4 dogs, but just 1 for the 5 cats. Bandit gets squeeky toys, Turbo gets stuffed animals & a new brush every year, Sissy get’s a new tooth brush, tooth paste (she loves getting her teeth brushed) and balls, Rufus gets new outfits & blankets!! They all gets several treats & cookies too!! 3 of the 4 are brother/sisters!! They are my fiance & I’s only “kids” so far, but I’m sure I will always spoil them, even if we go without =) They are my babies!!
P.S Jeffrey was really his fiance me – Heather =)
we give our pets play/chew toys in a little dog stocking.

Hi. I love your blog and have saved a lot of time, money and frustration with your match-ups. This is my first time posting.
My 12 yr. old Jack Russell Terrier started hobbling about a week ago. I was horified to discover she needed surgery on her left hip, but what brought me to tears was learning that she would need surgery on both hips!
The hip she had been getting around on (her right hip) was actually dislocated and had been for years. We had her x-rayed twice because we did not believe it. Evidently when she broke her right leg as a puppy (she was an adoptee), her leg/hip never set correctly. The vets had never seen “such a trooper” before.
My animals are my children and nothing is too good for them. I am happy to report she came out of her first surgery this morning and will be coming home tomorrow for a very long recovery.
What are my pets getting for Christmas? My Jack Russell Terrier at 12 yrs. old is getting 2 new hips at $ 1400 each and my Border Collie and cat (also rescues) are getting back their playmate. My husband and I cancelled a trip and are making cuts elsewhere. Our Christmas gift will be having her another several years.
Please spend whatever it takes to save your pet. They give us unconditional love and you simply can’t put a price on that! Happy Holidays and please SPOIL YOUR PETS!
I don’t buy my pets gifts.

Our dog loves tearing the paper off of gifts! We usually wrap lots of her used bones and toys along with a few new things just to see her upwrap them.
Well, we just got our goldendoodle pup last spring, so this is his first Christmas. We’ll probably get him some type of toy, even though he’ll probably destroy it in a day:)

We have our dog, Mikey, and he will usually get a bone and some chew toys if the budget allows, and my brother’s lizard (who is currently oversees) receives tropical fruit on Christmas. Usually he just gets the “fancy” lettuce because he’s spoiled like that, and that’s all he’ll eat! Our cats get some left over turkey, because that is their favorite treat!!

My two bassets (Luci & Flash) get new toys and new dog beds every Christmas but they also get gift cards from other family members to the Pet Stores to pick out what they want. Since I don’t have kids they buy for my dogs because they say it’s only fair. So needless to say they are spoiled and come home with lots of stuff at the holiday, but they also give back to the basset rescue. We donate toys, food, collars, & leashes every year with what they get becuase they will never use it all.

This is the first year we have had a puppy. She is getting Christmas presents this year (a new blanket and a new toy.) My young boys loved picking out the toy for her. Not much $$ is spent, but the boys love giving to her and will love seeing her “open” her gifts.

We always buy our cats a can of special cat food for holidays-they love it!
We load our stockings for our pets up with love and doggie bones.

Both our dogs will each get a new toy. Dog toys get destroyed very quickly in our house, so they are due for some new ones! Our cat will probably just get some hairball cat treats since he is older and doesn’t play with toys anymore.
