how much $ do you spend on your animals?

[cloverfdx]

Too much hehe just kidding. We leave on a roadtrip next week to take the dogs interstate for a Flyball comp, it is a 24 hour drive + wee/ exercise stops. With the price of petrol/ gas at the moment it could end up costing quite a bit just to get there .... hows that for commitment.

I guess i would spend about $200 a month on the dogs, possibly $250 - $300 if we have trips away for flyball, herding etc. The cat eats about $20 of food a fortnight so thats not too bad. Lets just say there is very little left over for me at the end hehe... but i dont care.

Cats, $28.00 a week for food, treats and litter. (12 cats) Dogs, $19.00 a week for food and treats. About $500.00 a year for vet bills for all of them and about the same for Revolution.

And then there's the lumber, etc. for cat trees, the cat pen improvements, doggy door replacements.........

I must be nuts





about my pets!

[Aspen and Misty]

For the Month of May my budget for the pets looks like this:

Dogs:
Food - $50
Vet - $100 (Foster pup Luka got his Shots twice)

Cats:
Grooming - $35 (Hossie got shaved!)

Rat:
Vet- $50 (she is being PTS)

Bunnies:
Food - $40
Vet - $700 (Jaxom got very ill)

So total cots comes to $935. Nope, $500 isn't alot

That doesn't include heartworm and flee prevention and shots for the dogs and cats. Treats and toys. Right now I get a 15% discount because I work at Petsmart so I tend to buy more toys and a treats then if I didn't get the discount
