There are so many ways to still control expenses in having a dog just like how I do in my meal expenses. We gotta be prepared for any expenses and allot a budget for it.

This is a really great post. My wife is thinking of adopting a dog for our little kiddo just to give her a responsibility. I always tell her that it’s a good idea to teach our kid about responsibility. But having a dog means additional financial responsibility that we may not want to get into right now especially because I am the only one working in the family. Having said all these, I do agree having a pet (whether a dog, cat, or some other pets) do allow you to be more responsible for other than ourselves and our loved ones.

In reply to Money Beagle. The regular vet visits are what caught me off guard, especially for emergencies that seem to pop up.

In reply to Jamie. Agreed. Just like kids, the costs of having a pet are worthwhile.

I think I can bear such expenses because I am dog lover as well as my kid. Having a dog has taught us so many valuable lessons especially to my kid.

Any pet is going to have costs, not just up front but costs that go on and on. People definitely need to be prepared for these.
