Pricey Pups

The Friday File: While the cost of owning a dog varies considerably by breed, age, geographic location etc…, after accounting for food, vet bills, toys, treats, a license, beds, dog sitters, grooming, medicine and supplies, the average is $1,670/year. In addition, the up-front one-time capital costs of spay/neutering, initial medical, collar, leash, crate, microchip, obedience training and adoption are another $1,000. Making life so much better, priceless! Happy Labor Day.
