For me I'm hovering around $2200/year which includes insurance, grooming, veterinary costs, food, toys/entertainment/training/spoiling. |
That sounds about right. Our included the above, plus a Richell pen, crates, baby gates, neutering. etc. (Oh, and we still go through urine cleaner by the gallon, it seems.) We started buying before we got Fabian, to cushion the financial blow.
After doing the the math, we decided against getting him a little brother or sister right now.
