Puppy Cost

When considering getting a new puppy it’s important to consider not just the purchase price, but also the full lifetime cost of owning, raising and caring for a dog.  

Go online and search “How much does it cost to raise a dog”.  

• The American Kennel Club says at https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/lifestyle/cost-to-raise-dog/  that a study done by University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine students projected the average lifetime cost of raising a dog is $23,410.

• According to a Synchrony study, (https://www.marketwatch.com/guides/pet-insurance/cost-of-owning-a-dog)  the average annual cost of dog ownership is $1,270 to $2,803. Assuming a 15-year lifespan and including everything from initial purchase to end-of-life care, the total lifetime cost of owning a dog can run anywhere from $19,893 to $55,132

• USA Today says that according to a recent survey of 1,000 dog owners the average annual cost of owning a dog is $376 a month or $4,512 a year https://www.usatoday.com/money/blueprint/pet-insurance/how-much-does-a-dog-cost-per-year/

There are few things that are as rewarding as having your own “Man’s Best Friend”.  Most pet lovers agree that it is well worth the cost, but make sure you consider the lifetime cost, and keep in mind that the upfront purchase cost is actually only a small percentage of the overall cost.  Making an investment in a top quality dog is actually a very smart thing to do.

Treating diseases and unwanted health conditions can be very expensive and can take away from the pet ownership experience in many ways.
