3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited.

Hmm, since we got him I'd say we have spent about...

Dog - $400
Food - $90
Vet - $50 (we are doing the wellness plan thru Banfield for his shots so we only pay $24/mo)
Flea/Heartworm - $50
Treats and Toys - $75

So nearly $700 since the end of July. Spoiled puppy!!

And to think my two cats have had to go to the vet four times between the two of them in that timeframe as well.

Oh I forgot about $30 on leash/collar, and $15 on dog bowl, and $120 on training, so more like around $850....I didn't even know I had that much money to spare! It was all over time, so that is probably why lol. So monthly its about $100

Hopefully it gets cheaper after the first month.

We've only had Isis for 3 weeks, and we've spent ~$1,800...

Hmmm good question, but like others doubt I would want to know lol but I'll

The first six months with Balon:

Vet visits guess around $300 with all shots (not including him eating shipping bag which cost me an additonal 100 since VPI paid 200 or so of that)
Neutering: $350
Food: first couple bags were $35, now $50 for wildnerness, per month to month and a 1/2
Toys: maybe $75 shared between two dogs
Flea and HW treatments, about $18 each per month

Set up, bowls , collars, leashes: about $200.00


This is just for Balon, I also have the lab sigh, but I don't care love them to pieces, its why I have a part time job lol

This includes vet visits and Heartworm, food, toys, chews, little extras, and supplements (between two dogs). O dear. LOL

I calculate $1,000 per year just in basics (vaccinations, food, grooming, heartworm, flea/tick prevention). That does not include toys, treats, poop bags, cleaner, etc. I kept track of what I spend on Nikko from February until June and it was over 3,000! And that is for one dog.

I would guess I have spend about 5k on him so far, but not as much with the little one because he shares toys. That includes crates, toys, training classes, collars, leashes, etc.

My estimate would be after the first year I will spend a total of $2,500 per dog per year.

It's almost like having kids!

For all 3 of ours on average:

Food (Raw) - $180/month
Flea & HW - $80/ month
Treats & Toys - $90/ month (approx)
Council Registration - $285/ year (for all 3)
Total - $4500/ year
Occasional things (vet consultation, Collars, Leash, misc. items, shampoo etc) are not included as they are not a regular purchase, but would on average maybe cost about $800+ per year (give or take)

Our woofers are practically our children, but with 4 legs and fur, so we spoil them a bit.
