Dog Supplies
How much would a year’s worth of Dog Supplies cost?
I really want my parents to get me a dog.
I’m trying to convince them by telling them that I’d pay for all of the supplies I need.
So I need to know how much everything would cost.
It would be great if you can actually list the things I’d need.
BTW i’m 11 years old
the “average” cost
great answer Siobhán
thanks for all the great answers 
ok maybe I wouldn’t pay for EVERYTHING
how about a german shepard?
It averages around $1000 per year for most pets, and is somewhat dependent on the size of the dog. For example, small dogs eat less than large ones, and medications that are sold by weight of the dog (like heartworm prevention and flea control) are slightly less expensive for small dogs. So are crates, beds, toys and fencing for your yard (you’d need 6 foot fencing for most dogs over 40 pounds, while a 4 foot fence would contain a Toy Breed very safely.)
So the actual total cost is probably going to be beyond your capacity to pay, However, I think it’s very responsible of you to want to pay what you can of the dog’s care and hopefully your parents are impressed with your desire to contribute in this way. What you may want to do is come up with a monthly amount of money that you think you can earn and agree to give that to your parents each month to help out with the costs of the dog. That’s a very reasonable solution for a young person.
Even though you can’t pay for everything on your own, knowing what will be needed should impress your folks as it shows you are serious enough about a dog to have done some research! It’s very hard to put prices on most of these without knowing the size of dog or the state you live in (which you shouldn’t need to share with us.)
So here’s a list of the very basics:
-Crate
-Feeding bowls
-Toys
-Leash
-Collar or harness
-ID tag
-Annual Vet visit and vaccinations ( and most years you will have a visit or two in between as the dog eats something or gets sick)
-Monthly heartworm preventative
-Monthly Flea protection
-Food
-Treats
-Annual dog license (this is usually $20 or less)
-Obedience Classes
-Boarding or a pet sitter when you go on vacation
-Cost of buying the dog itself. If you get it from a shelter, it will probably already be spayed or neutered and also microchipped. If you buy the dog from a breeder, you will often have to spay or neuter and microchip the dog yourself.
Obviously some of these expenses, like crates, leashes, bowls, spaying, etc. are incurred in the first year and then they’re under control for a long time. The first year is always expensive though because of the set-up costs, the spaying, the training, etc.
Good luck!
