Calculation assumptions
We use public shop, clinic and salon examples, not national averages. Prices vary by city, provider, pack size and coat. Prevention, hygiene and starter items are planning allowances. Replace any allowance with a known price.

For puppies and seniors we budget one additional preventive consultation per year. Your vet determines actual care and tests. The annual equivalent holds this scenario constant for 12 months; it is not a medical forecast.
Dog purchase and delivery, neutering, treatment, emergencies, training, dog walking and boarding are excluded. Add services you plan to use to the extra costs.
