The cost of owning a dog has almost doubled since 2019, research finds 🐕 The monthly cost of keeping a pooch rose from £55.24 in 2019 to £80.54 in 2021
On crowdfunding platform GoFundMe, the number of people citing the cost of living as they fundraise for animal care is 50 times greater this year than last, rising from two to 100.
Another person is trying to raise £2,000 for hoof surgery for her horse Heidi as she is putting the bills on her credit card and borrowing money.Other expenses include vet bills, leads, collars, toys, poo bags, clothing, bed, food and water bowls, toothbrush and toothpaste and car restraints – some of which are occasional rather than monthly costs.
“As the statistics show, with the cost of owning a dog having almost doubled since 2019, this can have devastating results and force some awful decisions on individuals and families on whether they can keep their dog at all.” “That is why it is more important than ever to shop around and really think about whether you can afford your dream dog before buying a puppy. Buying a smaller breed may make your goal of owning a dog more affordable and realistic.”
