| I definitely think the cost is higher then what the article said. I also feel like up until this year the annual cost for Coco was much less then Georgie. Even without the cost of AAI surgery. The cost for food was higher but vet bills ect... have always been more for Georgie.

| The article also states: the ASPCA says, “You shouldn’t expect to pay less than this, and you should definitely be prepared to pay more. Don’t forget to factor in the costs of unexpected veterinary care, as well as boarding facilities, pet sitters and dog walkers, if you plan to use them.” I'm sure cost of pets vary from families, location, breeds and ect. The article never states where they "pulled" the data from. I know I spend more money on my pups but I think they are a "little" spoiled!  |

| Definitely interesting... I know I spend more than what that article said, but it's not an exact science. We buy more expensive treats and food than the average owner, but I groom them myself. Pet ownership is definitely not cheap, but it's totally worth it  I couldn't imagine not having my two!

 much closer to what a Yorkie costs Gracie's Surgery for the obstruction in Aug. Was over $1,300.00 not to mention the surgery earlier this year on her cheek, teeth cleaning, monthly preventive meds and routine food and stuff, well let's just say it's cheaper than college tuition.
