I thought it would be helpful for some to see the averages of how much it costs to own your pet. Things to include are insurance, grooming, veterinary costs, food, toys/entertainment, training. I will say that this can fluctuate from year to year depending on age of your pet.

For me I'm hovering around $2200/year which includes insurance, grooming, veterinary costs, food, toys/entertainment/training/spoiling.
