Is your pet living a soft life while you do the hard work? They’re pampered, they’re spoiled, and they deserve it! But let's be real: all those belly rubs and gourmet meals add up. Did you know the estimated annual upkeep for a dog can hit $1,500, and for cats, it can climb up to $3,000? But it’s possible to cut the cost of care without sacrificing comfort! Hosts Tanya Christian and Brian Vines welcome back CR’s Deals editor, Samantha Gordon, to uncover the secrets to shopping smart for pets. Samantha walks us through exactly what savvy pet owners should be adding to their carts in June, especially as we gear up for Amazon Prime Day.

Whether you're looking for a good deal on kitty litter, considering a high-end pet stroller, or just trying to manage the rising cost of pet health, this episode of Talking Carts is your essential guide.
