re: How much money do you spend on your pets per year?

What follows is what I have on Mint.com. I do carry most of the expenses for our dog, but my g/f has bought things for the pet. A few snacks here or there or maybe a bag of dog food. I usually pay all of the vet bills.

What kind of pet/pets?

---

1 small dog.

From Jan 2011 - Dec 11 I spent ~$501.28

Vet - $239.44 ( seems like I spend about $100 every 4-5 months because I did drop another 120 Jan '12)
- includes vet visits for immunizations, annual check-up, his flea/heartworm meds (~$100 per 6 months).

Pet-Food and Misc.- ~$206.41
We buy him a decent cost dog food. But since he's a small dog it last a few months. Then lumped into this category is misc spending on treats, toys, items etc.

Grooming - $55.43
Haircut and bath and stuff.

The biggest expenses come in the first few months. Multiple vet visits, rabies shot, and all the crap you end up buying the dog.
