Scott Zettelmeyer Webboard User Reg: 01-03-2004 Posts: 247 Loc: Offline	Cost per dog, per year: Food = $1,000 Vet = about $100, assuming nothing major happens Toys, bones, etc = $500 TOTAL = about $1600 per dog, per year This doesn't include the costs for any new leads, sleeves, dumbells, collars, crates, etc, that I may buy. Or any Vet bills for hip x-rays, etc. Or club dues. Or USA registration fees. Or Trial entry fees. Not to mention gas costs and wear and tear on my truck driving to/from training, etc, or anything else that is "training" related.

I don't think I'm spending that much, but the $1 per day per dog other posters are averaging is very impressive. I know I never make it that low. But I don't have a separate freezer yet!
