Whats the most expensive thing you have ever bought for your pet(s)?

When I first brough Miley and Graemer home, I ordered really fancy collars for them. I think they were around $70 each. They were (past tense) beads on elastic with really neat charms in the middle that hung down their little chests. They were hand made and looked really nice on the cats.

BUT the cats thought otherwise and proceeded to chew them off and then to pieces. I still have part of one of the collars. What a collosal waste of money that was.

They did look so nice on the cats though. I think the collars lasted all of two days before they were destroyed.

I have an expensive cat tree for them too.

The biggest vet bill was for Graemer, right before he died. The one vet bill for 1/2 day at a specialist's was $2,100.00. He died there. He was worth every penny. I really wish I could have saved him. He was a dear kitty, filled with spunk and lots of love!

In general, the most money is spent at the Vet's.

Autumn has her big luxury crate and Sunny has his self cleaning litter box. Besides those two things I'm pretty cheap. I like to buy a lot of cheap things rather than a few expensive things. Autumn has several collars and a big box of squeak toys because if they are under a buck a piece I grab a whole cart load. I found some cute hawaiian themed hats for dogs at walmart for a quarter each, then I bought all the colours so I ended up paying two bucks. Still cheap but I do this with everything.

Jeep Liberty here too. I had a lil' 2 door Toyota Rav 4 and traded it in for the bigger SUV, before I got Oz. I've had several people give me the look at having an SUV, suggesting I need a lil' economy car. Uh how would Oz and Gull fit in the back seat of lil' car?

My mom has my Rav 4 now and she took Oz to the grocery store with her. He was half in the front, half in the back and hunched over. A lil' car just isn't practical with 2 big dogs.

Par...

Wal-Mart has really good deals on Pet Stuff. Roxy doesnt really play with toys much though. Skye has alot of cheaper toys rather than a few pricey ones. The only toy Rufus has is his car :) Actually, heres his car :)

I guess it would have to be the car. We got a 2002 Kia Rio so Lucy could look out the window:D that's one of her favorite things to do and it has four doors. Our old car a 1991 Ford Escort completely died so it was time for a new vehicle anyway.

I am going to buy the cats a big cat tree, they would just love it as long as it was right by the window.

Yeah, Lucy loves her toys! We go to Walmart and buy toys because if she and Riley fight over it and rip it, it would cost $2 to replace as opposed to $6. They seem to love everything we buy them as long as it makes a noise.

Probably Maggy's Coach collar and jacket. I make my cats' cat trees, so I save a lot there, I just have to buy supplies. Maggy's hospitalization and surguries are up there too. I bought Payton's plane ticket for him to come live with us (I should have left him w/ my mom!).

I think that's it.

Here's her collar:

Maggy has a Coach collar and jacket? How Cool!!!!

I added pictures. :o

I Love them! They are so cute! I wish Roxy had a Louis Vuitton collar:rolleyes::)

I bought Guapo a Louis Vuitton dog carrier. Actually my cousin sent it to me from Florida, but I payed him back for it:)

You're So Lucky!!!!! I want a Louis Vuitton SOOOO bad....I have a Dooney&Bourke though if anybody knows what that is...

I almost bought Maggy a Coach carrier, but I know we'd never use it. When we're out, she doesn't like to be carried.

Fenced in the back yard to the tune of $2800.00 :eek: :eek:
We did it ourselves too!!! So that is JUST the cost of the material!
Besides that, their crates they were $110 each.

$200 indoor cage (rats), $150 outdoor hutch (rabbits/rats), $170 indoor cage (rabbits), $135 pet stroller (rats/rabbits/cats), well over $3,000 in vet bills (rabbits/rats)- that is about it, all of the little things add up though, hay mats for the rabbits are $20 a piece and they get one every two weeks- pets are not cheap!!

This is coming from my pocket too, not my parents! They pay for the cats however, I don't spend much of my personal money on them since I do not own them- but I do spoil them from time to time.

It's all worth it. :)

It is Worth It :)

I spent over $500.00 to get Oscar (fish) healthy, & had to spend 50.00 for 4yrs to keep herhealthy, until she was too far gone, & I put her down the day after my b-day last month.

But I do spend loads of cash on my fishies, I love them so much :D

got some pretty expensive things posted so far! I think the most Ive spent on one item would probably be either the crate or the cat tree (plus oversized shipping for both). I also bought a $50 collar for alki. lol then theres Brock's "medicine" (digestive enzymes) which costs about $140 (or more, I think it just went up) a bottle, each bottle lasting a month or so now I think. but my dad is paying for that right now thankfully.........:o

wow! Ive seen a few coach collars on dogs at work lately! also a few others of another designer, cant remember which now. too funny :) how much did maggie's coach collar cost??

Or hey, my $2000 camera to take pics of them with haha

I can't even think of my cat in money terms!

One item, probably the dog run ($200) plus bricks for the bottom (not sure how much they were), also an $80 dogloo in it. I don't even use it anymore though. :rolleyes:

I've spent well over $200 many times on vet trips as well. Add in dog food (almost $30 for 17 lb bag), millions of toys and treats......training classes (first 3 at Petsmart $85 per 6 wk class) and agility classes ($75 per 6 wk class I think I went to 3 sets of classes) $100 for a plane ticket, 2 crates $50-$90 each, $50 biker dog, $50 leather harness, etc etc yeah he's one expensive spoiled pooch! :D

Definitely my Subaru Outback....because huskies look so good in it! (yeah, I fell for the ads, HaHaHa). Next is probably the 6' kennel fencing, it's really nice and worth the expense, we keep buying sections to add more space in the kennel. We'll be fencing in more space next spring after the greenhouse comes down. Then the two igloo houses they no longer use:rolleyes: , and of course yearly vet trips.

Well actually Sherman was pretty expensive, and we got him for Star, does that count?
