what pet do you think is the most expensive to have?

[Queen of Poop]

My ferrets have definitely been the most expensive pets.

Two required surgery at $1000 each.
One had monthly lupron shots at $70 per month for 10 months.
One is having monthly lupron shots at $116 per month, he needs 2 shots cause he's so big.
Two required 3 ultrasounds at $400 each

Now don't get me wrong, I love my boys. 3 have gone to the bridge so I've just got one left. I will do anything for my pets. I just wish it didn't have to be so darn expensive - or I'd have many ferrets cause I love them so much.

I think it depends on the specific pet. The most expensive pet we have is Izzy, our iguana. Izzy eats fresh vegetables and fruit. His lighting is ridiculously expensive, his UV light costs $100 and needs to be replaced annually. Izzy has a bedroom-sized room all to himself. In that room Justin built him an iguana jungle-gym, I have no idea how much we spent on building that, a few hundred dollars at least. Justin still has to get a bathtub and plumbing in his room, that will be cost between $100-$200. Izzy also has his own air-conditioner to regulate the temperature of his room, that cost $500. It also costs money to run the AC and his lighting.

Reptiles. Turtle needs all this technical stuff that my dogs and hamster can live without.

I'd say horses but they are not listed.

Considering house pets only though, I'd have to agree with Gail. It's ferrets hands down! I've owned a wide variety of animals over the years and ferrets always top the list year after year after year. lol

I would say Horses and farm animals.
From your list, i would say dogs.
