We're thinking of getting a dog but my mum is worried about the cost. How much does it cost on average? Like food, pet supplies, vet appointments etc. How much does it cost to transport your dog to england via airplane?Also one more thing. Which breed is good for houses without yards? We live next to the beach though. Thanks a bunch!
Answer
$300+ a year for food
$30-$200 a year for vet bills.
To ship a dog to England requires a health clearance and an animal import permit; an appropriate shipping crate and probably special medicine to sedate the dog for the hours in the baggage hold. The airplane and crate expenses could cost $200.

How can i convince my dad to get a dog?

I'm sixteen and my dad refuses to let me get a dog. I am very responsible. I have a rabbit that i take care of. I'm willing to pay for the dog with my own money and clean up after it. I have nothing to do over the summer and I am at my house alone much of the time. We have a good sized house, and a very large yard. Also we've owned dogs before, but they died about five years ago. I really want a dog more than anything.
Answer
Even though you have proven that you are very responsible, dogs require a lot of time, energy and money to take care of properly. If the dog isn't properly trained, it can chew up your house and your stuff. If it's not housebroken, it can ruin your floors and your furniture. Your parents may assume that you'll get bored with the dog when you start playing sports and dating and go away to college. You can't keep a dog in a dorm or in most apartments. They don't want to be stuck taking care of a dog for 12 years if you can't handle it.
A good pup can cost $1000 or more. Even "free" dogs cost money to take care of. A crate, books and supplies can cost up to $300. Puppy shots are $200, then $100 a year for boosters. Annual Heartworm test and preventative medication $100. Professional trainer $600 and up. Going on vacation? Boarding kennel $40/day. Spaying? $250. If you can't afford to pay for a good dog, maybe you can't afford to maintain one either?
BEFORE you get any dog you should read some great books on training. (Try not to pick books randomly - there are a lot of bad books out there also!) These are some of my favorites and you can get them on Amazon.com
