dog crates 500 series image
Q.
Answer
It's going to cost more than $500. Don't get me wrong I'm sure you have already found one somewhere for $500 but the odds of that pup's parents having been thoroughly health-tested are slim to none. That's just what you need -- a $500 puppy that will end up costing you $3,000 in vet bills during the first year....
And once you've found and afforded a puppy and your parents have paid for food, then who pays for the puppy's first vet visit? How about the second, third and fourth visits? (Puppies have to go through a series of vaccinations.) What about dog bed? crate? collar and leash? toys? spay/neuter surgery? puppy classes so that you have a well-socialized dog?
And once all those things are paid for, who's going to care for it once you go back to school? It will still need to be walked and let out several times during the day, and it won't be fully housebroken by the time you go back to school in the fall so there will still be much training to do or else you'll have messes all over the house... your parents would be just thrilled about that...

Another question - initial pet costs.?
The creatu
What are the initial costs for a dog? Such as the buying price, neutering, etc. Thanks knowledgeable people.
Answer
Cost of pet: $0-2,000+ sometimes you find a stray, sometimes you invest in a pup with titled, tested parents. The averages would probably be $50-200 for a shelter dog, $1000-2000 for a pup from a responsible breeder.
Spaying/Neutering: $0-300, many rescues come already altered and there are many low-cost programs for $25-50, but a traditional vet will charge $100-200 and if there are exceptional circumstances (like a b**** that is very small or a spay/abort) it may be $300.
Equipment: budget $20 for a small dog's crate, up to $150 for a giant breed's crate, $50 for puppy collar, adult collar, training collars/harnesses, license tag, and quality leashes, and $50-100 for a bed, toys, etc depending on how elaborate you want to get.
Initial vet visits: puppy shot series, worming, and check-ups for the first year: $50-100
Emergency fund for replacing the chewed-up coffee table, surgery to get the car keys back (puppies eat weird things!), etc, budget $500 for the first year.
Other expenses during your dog's lifetime including training classes, take at least an eight-week obedience class ($150-300 per eight weeks, more for some dog sports), food (I usually assume $1/day for a medium dog and approximate from there for a smaller or larger one), continued vet care (including flea prevention, worming, and emergencies) for $100-500 per year, and equipment replacements or upgrades of $50-100 per year.
Cost of getting a dog, low estimate: $750 for the first year (if dog is free and already altered and no emergencies occur), high estimate: $4000 for the first year (for well-bred pup, surgery, top-of-the-line equipment and at least one training class and one emergency/big puppy damage). And then about $500-1000 for each year after that, assuming no major problems.
