Agreed, they are priceless... but it's still handy to have some notion of how much you need to care for your critter. Nothing sadder than everyone getting attached, then finding out you can't care for them properly.
 
LIFES not cheep and if your being cheep ...this also should change,good food and love attitude and attention vet bills makes for a longer happier life for you both ...R.E.S.P.E.C.T YOU LIFE AND LOVERS & PETS


WE ALL DESERVE A GOOD LIFE
 
Let me check my notes...
First year is most costly because of vet costs, as well as equipment, fencing, cost of the animal itself, etc you need to buy, both used and finally useless.
Then comes year costs which is what I will count. Then those old years with health costs skyrocketing.

So...
- Goats
__First year:
....Used: 370€
....Unused equipment 510€
....Costs: 120€ each animal
__Other years
....Used: 0
....Unused: 0
....Costs: 85€ - 100€ per animal

-Dogs
__First year:
.....Used: 476€
.....Unused: 23€
.....Costs: 1033€
__Other years :
.....Used: 15,75€
.....Unused: 0
.....Costs: 800€ - 975€

-Equides (still settling, so extrapolating a first year here)
__First year:
.....Used: 402,96€ (includes animal purchase)
.....Not used: 11€
.....Costs: 400€. - 500€ per animal ?

There are occasionally rabbits at about zero cost And the big bill comes from car and fuel to travel a few days a week

Anyone who decides to buy horse accesories for his dog cause they are cheaper 😁

And yes, medicines too.
It is only expensive when you need a vet. You rush limping doggy to the vet, but you need to press the vet to come see that fallen cow in a field
 
As someone whos lived with dogs growing up but never had to pay for them, eye opening stuff... both that it was more than I thought, and that its so nice to see so many people willing to pay up to pamper their companions!❤️ And to think people try to say we are all abusers...🙄

Nah. We *only* do it cause what we'd pay a hooker for a single date, we can support a mare and enjoy better sex with her a whole month
🤣
(No, not really 😉)
 
I don't know exactly, but the food is the most expensive part. I feed my dog local meat from the huntsman and the butcher. The same I eat myself. I don't keep a record of the costs usually. All I can say: It's worth every penny.
 
Since I don't have any right now, it is $0.00, but it was expensive and will worth it when I did.
 
Yearly vet visits and food/litter for my guy and he's good to go.

I'd guesstimate around $1000-2500 a year, just because I spoil him some.
