You can probably find them cheaper but they are easy to clean, replace, hold up well and you can cut them down to size...
You can always throw a blanket on top of them if you want to use it for the crate in the house, to make it more comfortable...

what is the cost of owning a dog?
Q. i would like to know how much it would cost to keep a dog? what are the expenses i can expect to pay every year?
Answer
Every extra penny you have... In return you'll get unconditional love and you'll lose your heart to a 4-legged fur-baby. ;)
Ok... it depends on what kind of dog you want, what size you want and can properly care for, and if you want a purebred or not.
If you rent, there's probably going to be a one-time pet deposit.
If you want a purebred, for showing purposes, then kiss your money good-bye. LOL.. It can be verrrrrry addicting taking the dog to show after show, and can cost a lot! ;) The initial cost for a purebred is a lot, however, you won't have to pay it again, and over time the cost for the dog's care would be the same as any other dog.
The cost of feeding a dog, of course, depends on the size of the dog. I have a standard-size dachshund and feed him the highest quality food possible, for his health. (I feed him IAMS). This is, of course, expensive as compared to other dog food, yet in the long run will save me tonssssss of money in not having to take him to the vet. Regular dog food and the cheapest kind add questionable fillers that your dog doesn't need at all. That's why I get IAMS, cuz they do not add any fillers like that. You really need to look at what is in the dog food. Even tho IAMS is the best, I still only pay $10 a month for his food. lol.. that's not much at all, but then again he's a little dog. You'd pay a whopping lot more for a St. Bernard or something like that. ;)
Vet bills.. Initial vet costs for shots, worming, and neutering/spaying, plus an annual check-up. These costs are likely to be a bit different in whatever area you are in, but usually don't add up to very much. My doxie is a purebred, and the shots and worming were paid for by his breeder. All I paid for in the beginning (after paying the $600 for him! lol) was about $20 to have him neutered and the cost of the office visit, which was $10. When he was a bit older he had a rabies shot, and then got his license. I think I paid about $25 total. No office visit cuz here they have certain Saturdays where rabies shot are given by a vet in the parking lot at a local store. That will be an annual cost I think, since they have to be renewed.
Grooming.. Again depends on what kind of dog you get. My doxie costs nothing to groom, except for shampoo and conditioner, and I just pop him in the shower for that. (which he loves!) But there are dogs who need to go to the groomer to keep their hair trimmed (such as a Yorkie, for example.. and Poodles). Groomers can be verrrrrrrrry expensive, but depending on the breed of dog and size, might not be too costly. And that of course, would be every month or every couple of months.
Crate/Carrier/Bedding... You'll need a crate. For my doxie it costs about $35 at Walmart. And if you travel, you'll need a carrier. Bedding can range from a simple soft blanket or bed to specially made dog furniture. Depends on what you like!
Collar/Leash... These aren't very expensive at all.
Misc: Food and water dishes, sweater and/or coat for a smaller dog. We live where it snows, so for my lil doxie who doesn't have tons of hair a coat is a must outside. Kennel, if your dog is going to stay outside during the day or something.
Toys/treats/bones... THIS is where you'll likely end up spending any extra money each month that you have. ahaha.. But remember, dogs can also have fun with inexpensive things to play with too. Of course I buy him stuff each month to play with, to keep him busy too. But one of his most fav things to play with is an empty toilet paper roll. LOL.. Go figure...
Think of it this way... you could spend about as much money on a dog, over the years, as you'd spend sending a kid to college.. ;) However! Dogs actually need very little, it's what we decide they need that can add up... LOL.. But the love, loyalty, devotion and protection that a dog will give to you is FAR worth every penny and more that you'll spend for his care.
Having a dog is in fact, priceless......
