Dog Collars And Supplies
Getting a new dog, how much beginning supplies?
I am getting a 4.0lbs 5.5 year old yorkie poo from the humane society. How much should I plan on spending when i need to buy, food, food dishes, a bed, collar, leash, toys, treats, poo poo bags, and any other things that ididnt think of that I’ll need to get him settled in. I plan on going to petsmart or petco for these items. Can anyone ball park what they spent on getting their new dog started? Thanks in advance!!
I recently got a Havanese puppy (small and a lot like a Yorkie as far as their needs), so here’s what I spent:
High quality food $16 for a 6.5 lb bag (Innova brand)
Food and Water dishes $0.89 each (got these at Target, and that was the regular price!)
Collar: $6
Leash $7.50
bed $30
crate $20
exercise pen $30 (I keep it inside and use it when I am away. Plenty of space for his bed, toys, and water dish)
treats $2 (Old Mother Hubbard brand)
Poo Poo bags: reused grocery bags, $0
toothbrush/paste $5 (this is especially important for Yorkies as they are prone to dental diseases)
nail clippers $2
hairbrush $3
dog shampoo $11
Toys (balls, hard plastic, stuffed, rope, etc) $30 all together
Frontline Plus (for fleas and ticks) $40
**Total start-up cost: about $210 (not including the dog himself)
You will also have to factor in vet costs, but this varies widly depending on where you live and how healthy the dog is. At my vet it is about $25 for a check up in San Diego, CA.
***Go to http://www.petedge.com/home.jsp they have everything you need for a lot cheaper than you will find it at most stores, including Target and Walmart, and they are the exact same brands and quality that you would find in any pet store. Items usually arrive at your house in less than a week! This is where I go the majority of my supplies.***
