My sister said it was a boston terrier. IDK if it helps but we only have 15 days left to get it and all the toys and the food and whatever else there is to get it. My mom doesnt know about it yet and we really need to know. I think the puppy is like somewhere around 6 months old. Im not sure though, my sis knows more.


Answer
Well if it doesn't have any of its vaccinations or de-worming yet, the avg initial visit w/a vet would be maybe around $100. Then some of the vaccines come in a series, where they will have to come in a few weeks for the 2nd shot, and a few more week for the 3rd shot. Those 2nd and 3rd series are about $15.00 ea. It all depends on what vet you go to and what they charge. I used to work in an animal hospital, and they are a bit pricey for the area I live in (central NY). So it might be less $$ than what I'm telling you.

Also you're gonna need to consider toys, food, beds, etc. I used to work at a pet store prior to working at the animal hospital and on avg I'd say someone coming in shopping for a new puppy would spend $100 on all this stuff. Of course, it depends on how much you buy. These people spoil their pets and bought a ton of toys and expensive beds. Also keep in mind that if you crate train it, you will probably spend around $50 on a crate. Good luck!

Almost forgot- if the puppy isn't spayed/neutered, the animal hospital I worked at charged about $200-300 for the procedure. Don't forget yearly check-ups $80 per visit, yearly dental cleanings $200, and flea and tick medications, $50.00 for a 4 month supply. Lots of expenses. May not be a good "gift" but if your mom can afford it, and wants a dog, she will love it! Good luck!

how much does a dog usually cost to take care of monthly?

i want to get a dog but i have to research care of dogs so my mom will let me get one i need to know how much what i will be paying for and how much the individual thing will cost.

Thanks a lot Rachel



Answer
There isn't going to be a set price.
There are too many variables. The size and breed of the dog for one as well as where you live. The prices in Ohio are about double what I paid in Texas for vet care.

For example the size of the dog can significantly impact the food price. A 50 pound bag at $25 will last a 10 pound dog alot longer than a 100 pound dog. You may need 2-3 bags a month.

There is also flea protection, heartworm protection.. which are also based on weight. Shots are going to cost alot in the beginning for puppy series, however an older dog may only need boosters.
Depending on the breed, there may be grooming needs. That can run quite a bit. Make sure to look at the needs of the breed you are thinking about.

And don't forget about any emergencies that come up. I have a dog that was diagnosed with epilepsy this month. The ER visit cost me $330. The meds will run $30 a month, plus bloodwork every 6 months at $100.
Also, add in your initial costs. A crate, dishes,dog pen or chain, leashes..etc.

Good luck!
