Join host Michele Forto, the lead trainer of Alaska Dog Works, as she discusses the true cost of owning a dog on Dog Works Radio.
Dogs provide immeasurable benefits to their owners’ lives, including companionship, stress reduction, unconditional love, and more. It’s impossible to put a price on all your dog does for you. But you can put a price on what it costs you to own them. And it may be far higher than you expect. In fact, many people underestimate the expenses that come with responsible dog ownership. Before you bring a dog into your life, know what you’re in for. Recent data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and LendEDU, a financial education website, will help you prepare a realistic budget for your pet.
