Annual Dog Care Costs

Dog Care Expenses
Petfinder


Adopting a dog requires a financial commitment to it's health and well- being. This chart will give you a rough idea of how big a commitment you should plan on. (These costs are estimates based on a survey of pet parents around the country-some may be higher or lower depending on where you live and the dog you adopt.)



 *Do not supplement your dog’s diet without consulting your veterinarian.
**Heartworm tests and prevention are necessary wherever there is risk of exposure.
