That was a great post
I usally spend about 90 per vet visit at least twice a year
I spent about 150 for spaying
It cost about 160 just for dog food that was with only 2 dogs last year
I spend abou 200 for teeth cleaning
I spend about 250 on heart worm pills / flee and tic protection/ and other medication ER
I don't use boarders any more due to a bad experience but figure at least $30 per day per dog and extra if they are there over the weekend dog sitters cost even more
I spend about 200 to 300 for toys and outfits and other accessories
I spend about 40 a year for potty pads thank you Costco.
I spend about 45 a year for grooming products
If you use a groomer expect to spend about 60 to 100 per dog per visit. I now do not use them any mor i learned how to cut their hair and do the grooming myself
I usally plan for a minimal cost of 300 for sick visits and ER care
I know I am am forgetting something here!
I figured with just the basic care it will cost you about 1000 per dog not counting grooming, boarding, or ER visits. It is a huge expense if you provide just basic care |
