I am thinking about getting a border terrier mix. How much on average does vet care for a dog. If you have links that would be cool, (about their health ect.) And dog supplies (food, toys, ect.) monthly.
Getting him neutered comes with the adoption fee… He’s a puppy.
I’m getting him from a shelter.

all i know it the average cost of a dog for its entire life is 10000
about 3500 bucks
but do know that dogs wont live as long as you so one day you will be hurt.
sorry this is a little of topic but ive always wanted a border terrier mix
in a month mine costs 30 just for food and emergency vet visits up to 600 a month. yearly=2000+
mines a weiner dog
A lot
His food cost $100, which lasts an entire month
So, that food din’t do him any good, so to get him back together it was problably roughly $300
use to give him garbage food because i didn’t know
His vaccines and rabies shots and stuff like that each cost like $50
Umm.. to get him neutered.. it was I think $120
Oh and just to have the vet see him is like $40 .. JUST to see him
So, each month it cost atleast $100 .. unless he needs to go to the vet.
You dont need anything fancy. You can pay $50 and it might be the best dog you ever have. Vet bills and food are not cheap though
Ok, average price of dog- 100-200 bucks if from the pound..
Food- Cheapest.. 50 bucks a month depending on the size of your dog-
Vet bills? With a puppy,, You have shots, flea meds, Spay, and extra vet visits for what ever they decide to get into( Violet got in the garage ate a can of bearing grease(500) not too long after that she ate a few Christmas ornaments (600)..
Depends on your dog
Lastly- Toys.. Depends on what he likes.. maybe starts at 100- then after that every month you getthem like 1 new toy.. Just so they stay entertained. Leashes food dishes, collars,
It’s pricey- But if you can afford it and have the time- They are so worth it
only 30 to 300 bucks, already spayed and nuetered if you go to a sHELTER!! DO NOT GO TO A PET STORE!! THEY GET THEIR DOGS FROM PUPPY MILLS!!! THEY WILL HAVE HEALTH CONDITIONA AND COST A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT ONE FROM A SHELTER< IT WILL NEED A HOME!!!!!! DONT GO TO A PET STORE ATHEY ARE CRUEL!!! PLEASE DONT!!!
Startup fees can be anywhere from a total of $600 to over $1,000 (for the dog, start up supplies, and first vet check.) Monthly fees are around $150. Vet fees about $400 a year not including emergencies, which can cost well over $400 in one go.
Then there are always boarding, training, grooming, and other fees that may or may not apply.
Dogs are not cheap. If you don’t have a steady job and/or a reliable way to bring in enough money to care for yourself, your home AND the dog….. then do not get a dog. Animals do not live paycheck to paycheck, you MUST have some money saved up that you can use should you need to.
anywhere from 100-10,000ish? It all depends on the dog..
Let’s say you’re adopting from a local shelter as opposed to buying from a breeder. By doing so, you’ll save hundreds of dollars–and possibly take advantage of the spay / neuter surgery that many shelters include in the price of adoption. That said, you can still expect to spend between $795 to $1725 the first year, just for the basics.
