[quote=Anonymous]Costs vary by dog type and size. We adopted a beagle mix a few years ago and he is actually cheaper than what I anticipated. He was my first dog and people kept telling me it would cost a fortune, but it has been pretty manageable. We spend about $50 every 2 months on a good grain free food (dog is only about 25 pounds). Order from amazon with free shipping from prime. Bought some toys when we got him and maybe replace one a year. Vet runs a couple hundred a year for shots and meds. Boarding is about 30 a night and we probably do a few weekends and 1 longer trip a year. Have had one emergency vet situation in 3 years that cost $600. These things happen, but are rare. Echo the posters saying crating is for house training not a long term dog ownership strategy. We crated our pup until He was trained and stopped chewing the furniture, but he has free reign now.
