[quote=Anonymous]I spend around $1000/year on vet bills for general wellness visits + 1 "issue" per year (some years she ate something, sometimes its kennel cough or a limp). Every few years she gets her teeth cleaned with is another $500.

Food is $25/month for a tiny dog (she only eats 1/2 cup a day) Obviously more if the dog is larger.

Dog walker is $100/week because we work full time.  It was fine before daycare drop off/pick up started, but I feel guilty leaving her over 8 hours.

Obedience classes for a pet are $200-300/session (you'll probably need at least a couple). I got bit by the training bug and love it, so I pay $50/week for dog sports classes, but that's obviously not a necessity!

Grooming is $80 + tip for a 20 lb dog. I don't have a traditionally groomed breed, but I send her every few months to help with the shedding.

The behaviorist we had to hire when the dog growled at the baby and we panicked was $200/hour. Again, hopefully not necessary, but well worth it for us![/quote]
