Purchasing Pet Toys & Food

Keep the American Economy Rolling - Idea #16

Recently many people had the pleasure of adopting a pet. They can help the economy by purchasing pet toys for their new furry friend. Simple rules: dogs will need chew toys and cats will need a scratching post. Both animals love treats, of course. Tip – stay away from Chinese made pet food and treats. Some have been dangerous. Play it safe, buy American made for your newest member of the family. Go to a local pet shop. Since they have fewer customers than a big box store, they are usually safer. Besides, small businesses really need our business now.

If you don’t feel safe enough, have your items delivered, Order them from a small mom and pop business. Most have websites and will arrange delivery.
