How to Spoil Your Dog When You're on a Budget
Whether your dog lives for splashing in mud puddles or lounging on your lap while you binge watch your favorite show, you don’t have to spend your life savings to spoil your dog.
In fact, it seems silly to spend more than you need to when there are plenty of ways to make your dog feel as special as you know she is without straining your wallet.
Dog parents will pull out all the stops to keep their dogs happy and healthy which often comes with a price tag.
So, how much does your canine companion cost you?
According to Money Under 30:
Dog parents spend between $700 and $1,200 on their dogs annually, and this doesn’t include other costs like pet rent or dog fees as hotels.
When you factor in how much it takes to spoil a dog, the cost adds up. Vet bills can range from $60 to $200 for annual exams plus vaccinations and other preventative medicine cost about $450 per year.
Of course, there are the other expenses dog parents run into, as well. These include boarding, toys, food, treats, dog bedding, training, collars and leashes, and grooming supplies.
We estimate that most dog parents spend close to $2,000 or more per year on their dogs. This can leave very little left over for the extra toys, treats, and adventures that make your pup feel spoiled.
Your dog makes you smile, laugh, and keeps you company. For these reasons and many more, your pup deserves a little pampering from time to time.
Luckily, it’s easy to make your dog feel like the most special pup in town without breaking the bank. We’ve found some unique items to help you spoil your dog on a budget!
