The cost-of-living crisis has meant that owning and caring for a pet has become more expensive than in recent years. We wanted to help give you an idea of how much your pet will impact your wallet.
Things have changed a lot when it comes to travelling with your pet. Whether it’s a staycation or a trip to the continent, if you want to take your pet, you may need to make special arrangements.
Our pets are more than just animals. For most owners, they’re a much-loved member of the family. And pet insurance is an important way of looking out for them.
Hot weather might be perfect for picnics and holidays but it can be a real challenge for our dogs. In fact, most pets, including cats and rabbits, are sensitive to heat. If they get too hot, it can make them very unwell.
Choosing and owning a pet can be one of the most rewarding experiences, but have you ever considered adopting an animal from a rescue organisation?
Wondering which foods are safe for your cat? It’s essential to know which foods are beneficial and which could be harmful. Feeding your cat the wrong foods can lead to digestive issues or even serious health problems.
Dogs love to share food with their humans, but not everything we eat is safe for our furry friends. In fact, some foods come with serious health risks.
Feeding your rabbit the right food is essential for their health and happiness. And while rabbits love fresh veggies and fruits, not all are safe for them.
No-one wants the worry and stress of a much-loved pet going missing. Fortunately, there are precautions you can take and steps you can follow if they do – and pet insurance can help too.
Pets play a key role in so many people’s lives, but how long can we expect them to be with us? We take look at the life expectancies for popular breeds of dogs, cats and rabbits.
Christmas is an exciting time, but it can be overwhelming for pets. The extra noise, new people and changes to routine can create anxiety for our furry friends.
Owning a pet can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life, and bringing an animal into your home starts a special bond.
Knowing the common health issues in popular dog breeds can help you become a better pet parent and give your pup the best care.
Thinking of getting a dog but already have a cat at home? It’s important to remember that some breeds are more likely to get along with feline friends than others.
From Bonfire Night to New Year’s Eve, fireworks might be exciting for us, but they could make your pet feel stressed and scared.
When something sudden or unexpected happens to your pet, knowing how to respond can make all the difference in managing the situation calmly and effectively.

Making money as a teenager can be a fun, rewarding way to gain more freedom with your finances. Whether you want to top up your pocket money or find a part-time job to spend on bigger stuff, taking control of your money helps you build confidence and skills that will be useful later on.
The good news is, there are loads of ways to do it. If you're a people person, love getting creative or have a special talent, you’ll find something that fits around school or college. And while you’re earning, you’ll also pick up valuable skills like communication, problem-solving and customer service that’ll come in handy no matter what you choose to do in the future.
Here are some ideas to get you started:

An easy way to start making money is by helping with chores and odd jobs. Ask your family members and neighbours if they need a hand with simple tasks like mowing lawns, babysitting, pet-sitting or even food shopping. These kinds of jobs are pretty flexible, so you can fit them around school or college, and pick hours that work for you.
Not only will you make a bit of extra cash, but helping with these tasks can also build a sense of responsibility, improve your time management and let you pick up the basics of good customer service. These skills can really come in handy down the line and if you’re reliable, you might get recommended to others, giving you more chances to earn.

Got clothes you never wear, books you’ve finished and gadgets gathering dust? If the answer’s yes, why not turn the things you no longer need into extra cash? You can sell your unwanted items online through platforms like Vinted, Depop, eBay or Facebook Marketplace. Simply sort through your stuff, snap some photos and list them for sale. It’s a great way to declutter your space, give your things a new home and make a bit of money on the side.

Getting a part-time job is a great way to earn some money and build useful skills. Whether you’re serving customers in a coffee shop, stacking shelves at the supermarket or helping out at the local leisure centre, there are plenty of part-time gigs for teens. Besides earning cash, you’ll also gain valuable experience in customer service, time management, teamwork and handling money. And remember, these skills will look great on your CV when you go for other jobs in the future.
You can start your search for part-time work online or simply by handing out your CV when you’re out and about. In most places, you can work part-time from the age of 14 but in some areas it's 13, so make sure you check your local council’s rules. Full-time work is only allowed from age 16. Find out more on the gov.uk website.

Want to make a bit of extra cash without even leaving your room? There are loads of websites, like YouGov and Toluna, that pay you to complete online surveys. Some even let you review products in exchange for cash or freebies. While these tasks won’t make you rich, doing them in your spare time can help top up your pocket money.
To stay safe, stick to well-known and trusted sites, and avoid any that ask for payments or sensitive personal information upfront. Remember, these activities are great for earning a bit of pocket money but remember not to rely on them for a steady income.

Got a knack for writing, coding, design or something else? Sign up to sites like Fiverr and Upwork and turn your talents into freelance work. These platforms let you showcase your skills and connect with people looking for help on all kinds of projects. You could design logos, write blogs or articles, edit videos or even create simple websites. It’s a flexible way to earn some extra cash around school or college and fit it around your own schedule.
Freelancing is also a brilliant way to gain valuable experience, grow your portfolio and learn how to work with different clients. You’ll pick up handy skills like managing your time, setting rates and delivering great work. Just remember to start small and show what you can do, and, over time, it could grow into something more regular.

Be it fashion, food or gaming, if you’re passionate about something and want to share it with the world, then why not think about becoming a content creator? You could start a YouTube channel, build your presence on TikTok or create an Instagram page based on what you love. By making and sharing content that feels real and authentic, you can connect with others who enjoy the same things.
You could also get skilled in areas like video editing or marketing, which could lead to more opportunities.
And as you grow your audience, there are lots of ways to earn:
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. And staying safe online is really important. Always think before you post and don't share any personal information, like your full name, location or school. Limit screen time to avoid burnout and help protect your mental health. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to block or report them. You can find more online safety tips on Childline.

Want to be your own boss? Running a small business is a hands-on way to learn real-life skills like money management, marketing and customer service, as well as making money. And there’s nothing better than seeing people enjoy something that you’ve made or helped them with. Just start with what love and go from there.
Here are some ideas:

If you’re an older teen who’s good at a particular subject or has a special skill like playing an instrument, tutoring younger students can be a great way to earn extra money.
Tutoring is flexible, rewarding and helps you dive deeper into your chosen subject while building valuable communication skills. To get started, pick a subject you enjoy and let your family, friends and teachers know. You could also make simple flyers to share around your school, college or local area.
Next, set up a profile on UK tutoring sites like Tutorful or Superprof to find more students. Start with a competitive rate based on what others are charging and tweak it as you gain experience. It’s a good idea to prepare simple lesson plans to keep things engaging and on-track. You could even think about offering online sessions using Zoom or Google Meet to reach even more students

No matter how you earn money, once you start making some, it's a good idea to create a simple budget to keep track of your cash. Start by using a budgeting app or simply writing down how much money you’re making, what you’re spending it on and, most importantly, how much you can afford to save each month. An easy way to do this is by following the 50-30-20 rule. Try to put 50% of your money towards needs, 30% for your wants, and 20% towards savings or debt.
Even if your savings are small, it's a good idea to get into the habit of putting aside a bit of money each month. Stick at it, and soon you’ll have a fund to spend on bigger things or emergencies in the future.

It’s never too early to start planning for your future. Building valuable skills now can lead to bigger opportunities down the road, and there are plenty of ways to grow and develop your skills:
