[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we barely spent or spend anything on our dog.

-we get yearly shots at the Humane Society in DC for $10 each. 
-we had him spayed there as well.  Under $100 including anesthesia and post-op meds
-he's small so he doesn't eat much
-we buy grocery store level dry food (no grain but it's not high end).

If he got hit by a car or something I'd spend a fortune to help him but I don't see the point of spending a lot day-to-day.  [/quote]
Yeah I didn't used to spend much on my dog either - but they get old and sometimes require daily medication and/or special food for allergies. Getting old sucks for everyone. [/quote]

+1. My dog takes 3 daily meds now. One is $90/month. The others are $30-50/month. Not sure why dealing with a kidney disease is somehow less important than being hit by a car. [/quote]

Quick tip:

Most dog meds can be filled at the local drugstore (instead of at the vet). You can print out a prescription discount card online that will provide large savings on Rx that are not covered by insurance.

[b]We've saved a lot on our uncovered meds and meds for our dog using this one: https://www.wellrx.com/rx-discount-card/enroll

Once you use it, the drugstore saves it in your account so you can just tell them to apply it, you don't have to carry it around.

This tip saved me $30 yesterday - thanks PP!  I had no idea you could price drugs at the various drug stores to get the lowest price on that site.  I tried calling around one time to do it, but my dog's medication is a controlled substance so they won't give any info over the phone about whether they have it available and what pricing is.  The prescription discount card will easily save me a few hundred on my dog this year.  Thanks![/quote]
