A friend raised a 6-year-old male Labrador, and now weighs 85 pounds, which should normally be 65-75 pounds, but Labrador is a dog that is easy to gain weight, so it is normal to be overweight.
Many people will ask my friends if you need a lot of money to keep such a big dog a month. I also asked, but my friend said that in fact, he can't spend much money a month, so let's calculate it today!
Labrador is a short-haired dog, you say how dirty it is, but it doesn't, so you don't need to bathe it very often. Friends said he usually bathed Labrador himself, about once a week, otherwise it would cost about 100 to wash it at a pet store.
And washing yourself, you can save this money, after all, it is not difficult to bathe Labrador, it takes some time, and you must blow dry it in time after washing.
Secondly, let's talk about the problem of medical treatment, the Labrador of the friend's family is 6 years old this year, the body has been very good, and he has not had any serious illness, that is, he has been to the hospital once for two years because of vomiting, and spent 200 yuan. Except for vaccinations, I rarely went to the back.
In fact, if you want the dog to be less sick, feeding is very important, usually do not give the dog too much, it is best to be seven or eight full, so that the dog can eat enough, and it will not be easy to be fat.
In general, deworming in vivo is once every 3 months, and in vitro deworming is once a month.
Friends deworm their own Labrador, and it costs about 40 yuan a month. This can not be saved, otherwise the dog is sick and spends more money.
Labrador spends mostly on eating, the rest is fine, and the dog's staple food is still dog food. Friends have fed a lot of dog food before, but many will have tear marks after eating, and then under the recommendation of other dog friends, Bought this dog food now, there is duck meat and psyllium, or no grain, after eating, the tear marks directly disappeared. If you want to know what dog food is so good, you can refer to the blue text below, I believe it can help you: what dog food is good for medium and large dogs?
This shows that dog food is not as expensive as possible, and the right one is the best. Because the Labrador of a friend's house is a bit overweight, the friend will give it proper weight control.
This dog food is calculated to be 16 yuan per kilogram (cheaper to buy when engaged in discounts), 30 pounds can eat more than a month, friends will add some leftover meals at home (flush off oil and salt), some add some chicken racks and so on.
The cost of such a month is about 450.
In addition to these, there is basically no other cost, after all, other things are basically bought for a few years.
Snacks, friends rarely eat, under normal circumstances, unless friends feed, otherwise rarely eat, there are toys, are friends themselves made, usually at home like to play with friends.
Conclusion: How much does your dog cost in a month?
