Yes bigger dogs are more pricey.
Lexi's monthly food bill is generally around $50, while we spend over $140 for the 2 large dogs.
I rented for 4 years with dogs in 3 different homes. Finding a place that accepts pets can be challenging, especially in apartments. In some cases we needed to put down an extra deposit for the dogs. Also while talking to people I discovered that small dogs were generally more accepted than large breeds.
Also if you do find a place, make sure you get it put in your lease. My friend recently rented out a place because the landlord assured him he could get a dog, but a couple weeks before he was suppose to pick up the puppy, the landlord changed his mind.
You may want to consider pet insurance too. Not sure on the monthly cost of this, been meaning to get it but haven't yet.
It annoys me when I see people rehoming their pets because their landlord doesn't accept them. If you get a dog and are renting, you have to consider this possibility.
