And then there's the what's the, I suppose, for want of a better word, what's the set-up costs, you know.
So the set-up costs would be if you actually, if you're not getting it from a shelter, you have to factor in vaccinations and they're going to cost you $170 to $250.
Desexing, you know, that could be $200 to $500.
So in that set-up phase for dogs, you're probably looking at around,
about a thousand dollars because you've also got a bed or a kennel probably should get a car restraint like a harness for them collars and leashes and things like that just dog bowls things like flea control and worm control they're you know they're not insignificant expenses they can be 120 to 300 a year to actually get that to actually just do the maintenance if you buy an animal that requires grooming you need to factor that into
The other sort of set up costs would be microchipping.
So the set up things that I think about are the big costs are de-sexing, vaccination, microchipping, registering with the council, and then making sure you've got the right infrastructure for the animal.
So you've got a kennel if you need it, or bedding and what have you, leads and those types of things.
And another allowance for extra veterinary fees around those flea and worm controls and what have you,
because you do tend to get a bit excited and go off and buy all sorts of treats and balls and things and that adds up too.
So watch out.
At the end of the day, for a dog, you're probably looking at a setup of around about $1,000.
And then on top of that, you've got the cost of the animal and then you've got its food.
And that's probably around, depending on the size of the animal, you know, $500 to $1,000 a year to feed your animal.
And then the ongoing costs would probably be around about $900 to $1,000 a year for a dog.
It's a little bit less for a cat.
Same sort of set-up costs apply for the cat in terms of vaccination, de-sexing, microchipping, fleas and worms and what have you.
So the first year is likely to be, you know, probably around...
probably around $1,000 again.
It's probably not going to be too much different.
