    If I had my way, try $750 a month on a horse! + $160 on lessons
    But since I don't have a horse, My rabbit costs:
    $45- innitial cost of buying
    30- a year on rabbit shows
    65- cage
    40-toys, etc
    5- supplies
    15- show rabbit feed 25lbs. (lasts about 6 months)

    Dog
    $55 innitial cost of adopting
    40- food per month
    about 600 vet per year, he's pretty healthy
    50- dog park registration
    treats, toys- 30 per month
    misc. medical and grooming supplies- 5 a month

    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

    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
