Pet Owners Can Save Big with These Credit Cards

The cost of pet ownership is rising, according to Rover's 2026 Cost of Pet Parenthood Report. The median lifetime cost of owning a medium-sized dog is $39,350 and $32,527 for an average cat owner.

Pet owners are noticing rising prices, with 83% noting the change over the past year, and 34% calling it significant.

Several credit cards offer perks that can help pet owners save on their animals' needs. For example, the Blue Cash Everyday Card from American Express earns 3% cash back on U.S. online retail purchases, including pet stores like Chewy.com.
