The Cost of Owning a Dog
Did you know that the cost of owning a dog is well over $2000 per year
? This includes the cost of purchase, food, puppy vaccinations cost, vet bills, treats, bowls, chew bones, leash, collars, vitamins, flea control, grooming and grooming tools, de-worming, a crate, and so on. Assuming that your dog will live for 14 years, you are likely to spend at least $28,000 over its lifetime. Remember, if you buy a dog with a medical condition, this figure will be much higher due to increased veterinary expenses.The best option before you acquire that puppy is to be well informed on the history of the pet. Do the parents have any medical conditions? Do not just choose a pet based on appearance because its underlying medical problems may not be immediately evident. These can be allergies, eye defects, hip problems, or any number of hidden conditions that will soon emerge to overwhelm you with vet bills.
You need to prepare yourself to spend time and money to acquire a breed that will be well worth the effort because it will be easier and cheaper in the long run to train and maintain. The rule of thumb is: Research the puppy's bloodline and get a vet to examine it for any medical problem. To prepare for the unexpected, you should acquire pet insurance in order to have piece of mind. For a small monthly premium, your insurer will ease a possible vet expense burden amounting to thousands of dollars arising from an accident or illness. Have a happy dog training day.
