[quote=Anonymous]I feed my dog WSAVA-compliant kibble and add a handful of fresh fruit (blueberries, apples, bananas, cucumbers, etc.) or vegetables a few times a week. My dog also gets a dental treat, biscuit, and small amount of baby food (bananas, applesauce, pumpkin, or carrots) to lick out of a toy every morning as I leave for work because that keeps him busy and reduces his anxiety as I leave. What adds a lot to the cost of a dog (in addition to vet care, flea/tick and heartworm prevention, and food) is all the chewing treats, toys, and impulse buys. My dog chews through an XL Himalayan yak chew every week, which gets expensive! He also destroys at least one toy-- stuffed, rubber, or ball-- every week. But he's still very young and needs to chew A LOT, so it's a necessary expense. [/quote]
