| Save, Save, Save Congrats on your new baby! I am not trying to scare you or to be negative. I am only trying to give advice. A puppy is almost like a child. Actually they can be more expensive in some cases. There are alot of costs associated with having them in your family, and getting a payday loan is the wrong way to start out. Those type of loans are set up to be a never ending pit fall. Please be cautious. I spend at least $500.00 a month on my babies, but I have 6. Their foods (because they all cant eat the same thing), Their Frontline and Heart worm Meds, Troubles medication for his skin condition, Their treats and toys, and grooming. This doesn't include their rountine check ups and when they are sick. Its pretty much routine to spend $400.00 each time I walk through the door at my vets office. (I think they see me coming)... Actually just last month I took Trouble and Pee Wee for their yearly check up and shots. Trouble had an ear infection, they both got nails and potty patches trimed. No bath or any other trimming and it was $435.00. This included Troubles antibotics and the stuff for his skin though. I know that there is a huge difference between having one and having six, but please know that with these great little souls come great responsibilities and sometimes great expenses, but in the end they are worth every penny just like my child is. Good luck with your new baby |
