This includes food, toys, tugs, contracted trainer, $25.00 per week put away for those "just in case" vet bills, fuel for training and treats. It does not include any seminars I go to during the summer which can be two or three at an average of $350 a pop. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> What we won't do for our dogs.

Oh, I believe this 100%. My impressed comment about $1 per day was about raw food only. I don't want to add up the rest (claw-clipping every month for one, vet, supplies/equipment, flea and heartworm meds, club fees, and on and on). And I left off the locally-smoked and -caught salmon for treats! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Johan and Robert Sayre each said (I believe) about $1 per day per dog. Of course, if we each paid the going rate on the other thread for our dogs ($150,000), then we can certainly afford more than $1 per day per dog for food. http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/showf...rue#Post4171773

The reason it is only a dollar is the fact that it is a 'proffessional' line off food. No publicity costs, etc. Same food in an other smaller bag costs double. But than you get a beautiful bag, publicity etc. If i buy my food at the local store i pay 3 to 4 times as much for something off equal quality Greetings Johan PS my last "big" purchase for material was a long line 6,25$ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Anne Vaini Webboard User Reg: 07-14-2005 Posts: 775 Loc: Wisconsin Offline	I probably spend about: $100 p/mo going to dog events (gas, entry fees, lunch) $50 - 60 p/mo raw diet for 2 dogs $200 training equipment, training fees, vet expenses, stuff I want for them $? extra cleaning supplies, new rugs, SOCKS and other things that get ruined with dogs in the house Holy crap. I'd have a nice(r) savings account if I didn't have 2 mutts. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Melissa Hoyer Webboard User Reg: 05-09-2005 Posts: 1340 Loc: SE Michigan Offline	Training - $60 a month Raw - $60 for one 70 lb. GSD & 20 lb. Cairn Terrier Misc. (Treats, toys, etc.) - $20 a month So monthly total is about $140...but recently haven't been training so let's call it $100ish That makes $1200 a year plus vet expenses of about $500 for both dogs. Looking at almost $2000 if I'm realistic! Yikes!
