ha ha yeah that's what i was thinking lol BUT it adds up quick . i pay about 300.00 a month to feed my dogs [ about 20 ] so about 3600 a year in feed then add the shot's booster wormer and time involved . but when i figure my expenses on a dog i figure at the price of a bag of dog food a month . so the way i figure @ a year old i got 300 bucks in em so a good 5 year old dog will have no less than 1500. dollars invested . but then if you really figured your time at even minimum wage the dog would be priceless lol
I am with HalfBreed on the feed...300 dollars a year per dog...6 dollars for wormer, 6 dollars for heart worm prevention...3 dollars for flea and tick prevention...20 dollars for 2 shots for pups...older dogs might get a booster every 2-3 years...15 dollars for yard guard mosquito spray during mosquito flare ups...
antibiotics are about 15 dollars a bottle and 18 dollars for a pump bottle of cut heal, just for emergency purposes...
about 350 a year per dog for the necessities...I try to keep all dog expenses to a bare minimum and having the dogs on concrete allows me to worm less and it also keeps the flea meds down to a minimum...
