well you have the cost of the yorkie......... and all the start up stuff like bowls, beds, ect...
I spend about $10 in food a month
Treats??? a greenie once in a while, but probably like $10 a month
I have to pay an extra $35 in "pet rent" every month in ADDITION to the deposit i allready paid
As far as vet visits go:
I take toby to a low cost clinic, it was $30 to have a checkup, get the shot and deowormer pill he needed and we also prepaid for the next set of shots...
I am not going to get toby a rabies shot, they can make little dogs sick, and toby is an inside boy. But you can get cheap rabies shots at teh petsmart and petco vaccine clinics
for toby to be fixed was $30
and also we have advantage flea stuff which is about $10 a month
We microchipped toby (but that was free)
Grooming: DO IT YOUR SELF!!!, i cannot stress this enough because it is SO EASY. I got a pair of clippers with attachments for $20 and now i save so much because i dont have to go to a groomer (i have never actually taken him to a groomer because i always that they were too darn expensive).... If you would like you could PM me and i can tell you exactly which attachment lengths to use on which part of the body..... and lets not forget that practice makes perfect and hair always grows.
My mom makes a lot of stuff for toby like his crate bed, blankets, clothes, ect.... so i dont have to buy any of that |
