Q. How much money do you spend on a dog in a year including treats, food, collar, leash, vaccinations, etc.?
I want to get a dog and I want to know to make a good estimate.
I want to get a medium or large dog. I'm looking toward a Border Collie or a Golden Retriever girl. I want to buy less popular food, not the really expensive, high class stuff.
I don't want to spoil the puppy to death but I do want a decent amount of toys and treats for her. I would like to get her in a kennel if I could. I would want one leash and one collar that can be adjusted and could last for a good amount of years. A dental bone or two also.

First of all, It takes more than $300 to get started, whether you adopt or buy an animal from a breeder. Most animals are not up to date on all of their shots and are not nuetered or spayed. Shelters usually give the first round of shots (Distemper/Parvo/Coronavirus) and you are required to take the animal back for three more rounds of the vaccinations listed over a period of twelve weeks which will cost you anywhere from $15-$50 for each vaccination (for a grand total of $45-$150) and a rabies vaccination that will last one year which will cost about $30-$50. In addition you will have to pay a vet fee for that visit that could cost between $45 and $75 ( a grand total of $135-$225) depending on which vet you choose. You are now required in most states to have a chip put in your dog and register it through Homeagain, which is smart anyway because your dog get's lost you'll want to find it. That will cost you about $50- $100 depending on what services you choose. In addition to that, you will have to register your animal with the state/city where you live ($30-$60).If you get a puppy, you will have to buy a new collar about every three weeks because it will either grow out of it or chew it up, that will cost you about $20 every time you get a new one, and you could be doing that for about a year so that will cost you well over $300 for the year. Food will cost you too. If you feed your dog cheap food, which I don't recommend, you could get away with paying about $10 a month ($120 a year). But, you will pay a fortune in vet bills because your dog will not be healthy ( it would be like you eating Mc Donalds and nothing else for the rest of your life, don't believe me, watch the documentary "Supersize Me). So if you feed your dog the best (like I do), which would be something like Science Diet (properly balanced nutrition), you are going to spend anywhere from $40-$80 a month depending on the size of the dog you choose and how much it needs to eat. That will cost you $480-$960 a year, and dogs usually live about 15-18 years (you do the math). You will probably spend about $40 a month on bones and treats if you are going to spoil it the way you claim (that is another $480). And I'm sure you will need to have it's nails clipped every month which is about $20-$30 ($240-$360). and you need to allot for at least $1000 a year or more to pay for emergencies. Vets want upfront payment for emergency prcedures and even if you have Pet Insurance (about $100-$300 a year) you will still have to pay up front and receive reimbursement later for only a portion of the vet cost. If you get a puppy you will need a crate which is about $50 and puppy pads for training which is about $40-$80 a month because you will go through them fast. So your grand total will be between $2,050 and $3,865
But this is on the higher side, and will only be for the first year, then it will go down about1000 dollors, moaking a new grand total of around 1000 to 2000
I hope this helps :)

How much will this dog cost me?
djisarI
I want to get a small dog, I don't care about the age. I will get it with all medical work done as it seems most are sold that way. My childhood dog passed away (I'm 21) and I have a lot of supplies for young animals (cage, leash, etc.) but what should I expect to pay in initial costs? What should I expect to pay monthly and what should I purchase? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
