Ah The Costs Of Dog Ownership

Posted September 7, 2006 by Chuck Posted in: Personal Finance

Last week while I was playing with our dog he had a little accident that required am unscheduled trip to the vets office. He hurt his paw and would not put any weight on it. After an xray we were releaved that it was only a sprain and he should be better in a few days. The cost of an emergency visit with an xray and a perscription for some antiinflamitory puills was $160. The followup visit a week later set us back another $45.

Certainly $205 is worth it in my eyes for a healthy dog, but the cost sure add up quick. Here is a pic of our pug Parker.

Seems like pet finances and ownership are pretty hot topic, FMF has a post up about them and Financial Freedumb has plenty (but I guess half the blog is about his dog… its even in the title).
