| How Much do you really spend every month on your pet/s? I have a folder in my filing cabinet under PETSTUFF PURCHASES. Any purchase I make , I put the receipts in there. Well sometimes I throw them out before filing them because I think reality will set in if I actually sit down and calculate what I spend monthly on Cookie & Mimi. I dont actually know what I spend monthly!? If I take a guess I would say about $150+ a month. Also I have spent too much on buying different foods because Cookie is a picky eater . I end up giving away the dog food! I keep promising myself after every purchase I will wait before I buy something! Genie www.littlemimi.org |

| I've stopped keeping track, LOL! I am sure I waste plenty and other items are deemed more neccesary. I think I go through spurts, one month spend plenty and the next month not much at all. Either way, all money spent is for such an adorable little face and well worth it!

| That is how I justify it too! lol Whenever anyone tells me how could I spend this or that on a dog. I tell them that I could be spending it on worse things like gambling or drug habit! Besides its MY ,MY, My money! Genie |

| Well on toys and food I spend about 150€ a month (about $130).I take mine in for check-ups every 15 days though and Im lucky I dont pay for those (I have pet insurance)..If I had to pay for check ups for 2 yorkies every 2 weeks I think Id be spending about $500 a month |

| According to my husband, this month I spent $250 but . . . I purchased that gorgeous carrier from Brooke and his striped polo too. Additionally, I spent $70 on Plush Puppy grooming products. I bought two shirts from Rena at barkingdogs. He wasn't too thrilled.

| I pay 300 a month for daycare and they throw in the food. I'm doing their website over though so we're doing a barter deal where I get a month free. Toys, meh she has her favs and no point in buying new. I did order some cloaths for her but the x-small is way to big so they're bringing in some micro sized to try for Sheila. |

| Oh please don't make me think of this! I think I probably spend about $100 a month, not including vet bills. If I had the option, I would spend $2000 a month! But on an Air Force salary - that just isn't feasable

| It's like my scrapbooking tab.... I try not to think about that! But you know, for all the happiness and smiles that these girls have brought into my life, I could never spend enough to repay them! |

| I also try not to think about it, but i can't help spending all my money on them! lol but i always have to get: - food - wee pads (which now i'm thinking about getting that wizdog) and of course i like to buy them clothes, treats, toys (which they have all chewed up and i always need to buy new ones). i'd say a good 200-300 bux a month. but the last 2 weeks of april i was real good and cut down a lot, hopefully in may it'll be the same as well. |

hehehehe Im the same way. I don't tell my guy exactly how much I spend but he knows it's a lot. Between prince and angel I think I spend roughly $300 a month but it varies. Something I buy nothing but clothes and shoes. Other times I buy them new bedding, hair accessories/bandanas and toys. I wish someone spoiled me like I spoil them lol. | |

We gave my male a birthday party last month for his 1 year birthday. We had cake and ice cream (all doggy ediable lol) and even party favors. The neighbors dogs came over and we awarded prizes for best sit, best stay, best costume, etc. It was a blast. Can't wait to have angel's party next month. | |
