Sixty-two Amish methods for dogs, cats, chickens, and small stock — feeding, parasites, grooming, and the daily once-over — each with what it costs in 2026 and an honest note on what it does not do.

Nobody on our farm ever said "pet care." They just kept their animals well.
The old farmers I learned from were not against the vet. They were against waste — against paying for a hundred bottles that do the work of four substances, against grooming appointments for a coat a brush keeps clean, against a bag of feed with a wolf on it that costs three times what the same nutrition costs from the grocery store.
Amish Pet Care is those ways, written down: sixty-two methods across nine sections, each with what it is, what you need and roughly what it costs in 2026, how to do it, and an honest note on what it does not do. And the biggest savings in the book is not the feeding chapter — it is the daily once-over that catches a forty-dollar problem before it becomes a four-hundred-dollar one.
You do not have to do all sixty-two. Pick the ones that fit your animal, your house, and your hands.
Two households. The same animal. Look at the receipts.
| The pet store aisle | The plain way |
|---|---|
| A bag of feed with a wolf on it, at three times the price | The same nutrition from the grocery store and the butcher |
| A hundred bottles on the shelf | Four substances that do the same work |
| Grooming appointments, booked and driven to | A brush, ten minutes, and a coat that stays clean |
| A toy bin for a bored animal | Work, walks, and a purpose — the plain cure for most mischief |
| Notices the limp a week late, panics at the bill | The daily once-over — a $40 problem caught before it's a $400 one |
| Loves the animal, dreads the spending | Keeps both well |
The proportions in this book will hold wherever you live. Waste is waste in every county.
"I did the feeding section for our two dogs and the grocery math made me a little angry, honestly. We were paying triple for the same nutrition. The dogs haven't noticed. The bank account has."
"The daily once-over caught an ear infection in our spaniel before she'd even started shaking her head much. The vet said another week and it would have been a different bill entirely."
"Bought it for the chicken section, stayed for the whole thing. It reads like a patient neighbor explaining things over the fence. My six hens have never looked better."
I'm Eli Miller. I was raised on the land, and the land has taught me everything I know. On our farm we care for horses, cattle, goats, chickens, and every creature God has seen fit to place in our keeping — and we do it the way it has always been done, with patience, with purpose, and with a deep respect for the life of every animal entrusted to us.
This book is what three generations of our family have learned about caring for animals the right way. There are no shortcuts here. No gadgets. No complicated systems. Just the old ways that have always worked and always will.

The opposite — it says so on page one. The old farmers were against waste, not against the vet. When an animal is truly sick, you go the day something is wrong, not a week after. This book teaches you to notice that day sooner — the vet chapter is about going earlier, not less.
Most of the book is for exactly you — feeding, parasites, grooming, behavior, comfort, and the daily once-over all apply to the house pet. The chicken and barn-cat sections wait patiently for whenever you get a yard.
Every method carries an honest note on what it does not do, and the book's rule does not bend: plain methods for everyday keeping, the veterinarian for sickness. Nothing in it asks you to treat a sick animal at home.
The videos are single chores. The book is the whole system in order — feeding first, money last — with the costs and the ledger to prove what it saves in your own house. You cannot run a barn, or a budget, off a playlist.
A PDF for any phone, tablet, or computer — illustrated, and formatted to print the pages you want to keep in the barn or by the feed bin.
