dogs aren’t expensive - the rest is pretty spot on though for most dogs. with training and proper hygiene there is no reason for any of them though.

I thought dogs were expensive until I bought my own. Doug was expensive to buy, but otherwise - his food is 10 bucks a month, his shots are 15 bucks a year and his neuter will be 200 bucks… not bad to me

thats because you have a tiny dog… big dogs eat a lot more food 
my dog is medium sized, he goes through about $15 of food bi-weekly plus treats and what not, probably around $10/week. big dog double it, but its not bad still.
