Well, Duke's on all Science Diet now so it's pretty expensive. A 20lb bag of food is around $22. And a case of his canned food is about $36. That lasts over a month, though. Vet visit for things like yearly shots ran around $120. Plus, I use Revolution(for worms, fleas, all those things) That's $17 a month. When they're sick, it's really expensive. Back in April, he was at the vet for a whole weeks and it was almost $1,000. He had pancreatis(sp) from some greasy gravy. I suggest don't even start on feeding them people food if you were considering it. I really didn't realise how harmful it was. Duke almost died because of it. Good luck on finding the dog for you!
I forgot about doggy day care. That's $14 a day or 7 for a half day. Also, get him bathed there in the cooler weather. That's $25.
