[quote=Anonymous] Medium 45lbs dog, annual cost in DC area: $700 food $200 well visit with teeth scraping $400 preventatives/vaccines $100 toys per year (can't offer much that isn't immediately shredded, so he doesn't actually have that many) $0 grooming, I do it all $300 boarding/daycare, varies by year, used very sparingly only for vacation and all-day events. So $1700 a year, approximately. $2000 in start-up / puppyhood costs: crates, pen, training, leashes, collars, harnesses, toys, bowls, dog beds, grooming tools (including a professional dog hair dryer for his extra thick double coat), etc. $1000 so far in his 6 year lifetime of medical bills not related to well visits and preventative care.[/quote]
