    I'm trying to think of a way that pets would cost you $400/month if it's like dogs/cats/birds/rodents without being an asshole

    If you do a raw diet with multiple dogs, I could see it getting that high

    Plus monthly pet insurance.

    When I had two, I spent more than $400 a month on just doggy daycare and grooming.

    decent dog food is like about 75-80 a bag we need 2 bags a month. Flea medication is 45 a month. Flashes seizure meds are 35. If I don’t bathe them at home add another $30. Some assorted treats (probably another $20) so that’s about 290 just for the dogs. We also have 3 cats and two turtles so while I don’t know how much is spent on them I’d say it’s close to $100 (food flea meds water treatment etc). This also minimum I can see spending more. When you see them as more than just objects it’s easy to spend more.

    I would guess about $100-150/month for our one dog between food, grooming, pet insurance, toys, etc.

    I assume you let it hunt it’s prey, like the blue buffalo commercials suggest.

    Groot and Flash’s food has freeze dried raw infused bits so they are basically a pack of wild dog hunting down their prey.

    Two fish tanks, two dogs, and a cat, but my wife probably spends more feeding wild birds than all of them. They eat better than us.
