The cost of owning a dog is higher than you think. According to the canine sitter website Rover, people underestimate the costs of owning a pet. Rover says that the average cost is around 131 euros per month . Most are said to believe it costs between € 22 and € 64. This includes up to € 51 for food, € 103 for medications, and up to € 171 for flea and tick prevention. These estimates do not take into account if your dog has a medical emergency. If this happens, a single trip to the vet could cost more than 856 euros.
If you are considering getting a dog, don't let the numbers scare you. Making smart investments for your pet, like paying for preventive care , can save you money in the long run.
