Lets see,

We pay $25 per visit for two dogs to go out with the walker, or $13 to be let out throughout the day if the weather is miserable. I pay $75 per month to insure both of our current dogs. We put out approximately $150 per month in food alone. Plus one of our dogs is a big chewer, and we spend a large amount on regular toy replacement, so that works out to be 1-3 toys per month.

Tentatively for numbers I got $30 a month to insure the puppy, we estimated about $80 a month in food, plus we assumed the same cost for toys as Matia. Adding the puppy onto our dogwalker plan is additionally more costly, because a young puppy cannot go out in groups with our older dogs yet, or the three of them have to go on group walks with just themselves. Regardless though she eventually brings the walker total up to $35 for walks, and $17 for in-house stuff.

The puppy also still requires her spay, which has been recommended by her current vet to be after she's hit the 5 month mark.

This was one of the photos we got.
