Let's see, I'll try to stick to necessary expenses:

Annual vet exams (if no problems) with shots about $150 per dog.
Flea/Tick and Heartworm Meds about $150 per dog per year
We just bought food & treats for our three for a month...$44.00 (but we've got big yorkies and our third is a much larger mix)
Teeth cleaning - so far, ours have great, clean teeth...could be the dry kibble, could be their youth...but plan on needing to clean teeth in the future.
Grooming - if you do it yourself, plan on $50 - $100 for basic supplies to get your started. If you pay a groomer plan on $40 or more per visit.

Other expenses include:

Beds, toys, blankets, coats/sweaters, harnesses, leashes, tags, microchipping (one time fee), licensing, training class (highly recommended), fencing our yard (best thing we ever did), belly bands & pads for Bernie (hopefully you won't need these), bows, carseats (we made ours really cheap...not pretty but functional)
