You guys are amazing...keep up the good work.

Thanks Jesse! We love us some shelter-pets (fostered or adopted 9 shelter dogs in recent years), but they sure ain't free! We would love more people to consider adopting or fostering, but they'll be less stressed if they consider the costs in advance. Thanks for joining us! -- Philip 👨🏻

Thanks can I. Have him

mascara1888..it stopped me. I just can't see the justification of owning a dog unless it's a working dog. Laying around all day, destroying items, cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning the home. Literally revolving your life around it. Constantly spending money just for the dog to die in a few yrs, when I can take that money and invest and allow my money to grow. You consider it worth every penny but I don't. I get gratification from family that's all I need.

So true Alex!

​@@unstoppableExodia That's assuming that every fish owner already have pond. And not everyone's living in Florida so most of us don't have mosquitoes or year-round warm weather.

Alex Shuysky yeah totally, no disagreements here. It's only in the last couple of years that I've had a place with a pond where I could do that. For most of the time before that I was living in a small rented apartment and the only way I could keep fish or any other small pet was in an enclosure so I know what it's like with that type of scenario where the set up costs are high when you have to buy an enclosure plus everything else and then the ongoing costs such as food and supplements and other consumables in addition to the ongoing maintenance and cleaning required to keep them healthy. Not to mention the possibility of vet bills for people who become very attached and would never dream of writing them off and starting again. It is a fortunate position that is sadly not available to everyone at any given time.

i have to disagree, unless you have something like a saltwater tank.

I've never heard of pet rent and I live in an apartment with 2 dogs 👀

Yeetus Self Defeetus i live in a "pet friendly" apartment complex and they charge $50 a month on top of your rent if you have a dog.

Bianca Rodriguez Oof

My cat costs probably $50/month.

Get it as an emotional service dog and you can bypass it no questions asked. My landlord told me this because by policy she charges but i guess she likes me? Hahaha

The same can be said of a number of non-living hobbies. I've seen people spend 5-6 figures on TCG games or going to casinos or poker tournaments. I'd rather have a pet than that.

Well if I understood correctly it's for their entire life time not yearly. So depending on the wonderful pupper 12-16yr for a mid sized dog.

sounds like a good plan to me...!!!

don't forget to feed it

you mean $18,000

You don’t need $42,000. Let me break it down for you. Adoption.... Fuck that. You can pick up a stray (free), or find people who are giving away babies for free. Food, on your way home from work, go to KFC every night and dig in their dumpster. There’s LOTS of wasted food. When I worked at a restaurant, there was a guy who always came by and asked us for left overs we didn’t want so he could feed it to his dogs. We obliged. Dogs don’t give a shit where the meat/veggies/grain comes from, day old or what not. They’re not prissy like us humans. Food=Free Grooming, you take a bath, save the water and make doggie take a bath after you. No wasted water! Soap from the dollar store, cheap as hell. A huge gallon of shampoo for a dollar. Will last the dog it’s whole life. Healthcare, if it gets sick, call it natural selection and go find yourself a new dog. Free! Vets are a big waste of fucking money. They don’t even give a shit about your animal. They’ll make up some bull shit and make you pay big bucks to euthanize it when it could have been saved with an antibiotic. If I ever had to euthanize it, I’d just shoot it. A bullet is $0.85, euthanizing drug is $1000. Highway robbery. If you want to argue the gun is $300, fine, stab it in the neck with a knife from the dollar store and boo ya, same result for $1.00. Total:$2.00

Really looking forward to that.

Siddharth Kapadia too much.

That would be interesting, I bet investing on a condom would be more profitable...Lmao...!!!

yes please

Honestly, a lot. Looking at this as a European (so free education and minimal healthcare expenses) you're looking at: - 1,5k€ in nappies alone - 50k€ in food (if you home cook everything, don't buy pre-made meals and don't eat out much/at all) - 50k€ in transport (bigger car, more trips) - 60k€ in home expenses (bigger house) - 24k€ in clothes - ~14k€ in toys and leisure costs All this gives a total of just shy of 200k€ or 8k€/year to get them to 25 and independent. A lot of this is back of the napkin based on personal experience with young kids, so YMMV.

have you ever had a dog? what is critical in your mind.

@@theAppleWizz Of course, I've had dogs. I love dogs. But like I said it depends on where you live the costs. For example, a lot of apartments make you pay rent for your dog (it really depends on where you live though my brother had to a pay a $200 pet deposit instead of a monthly payment which is much cheaper). Training is critical because my dog needs to at a minimum pass the canine good citizen test. Having an emergency fund for your dogs unexpected pet bills and going to regular vet checkups. Quality food that is good for your pet. Toys and supplies for your dog (crates, leashes, pet seatbelts, a travel kit, grooming supply kit, etc.). I'm not saying everyone budget it going to equal out to mine because the size and personality are a factor. However, I don't think my number is that high.

I’d say that’s a pretty accurate representation of what a dog will cost. I own two. I spend around $1,200 per year, per dog, in food and regularly vetting alone. I’ve never kept up with how much I spend on supplies, boarding, etc, however I bet it would make the annual total closer to $1,800 per dog. It is money well spent to me though :)

Yeah 2k a year sounds right, Food and like 2 vet visits, that’s not even that much especially if you get good food for them. If you cook for your dog boil chicken etc might be a little more too. I think it’s worth the money but that is a component of owning a dog.

Next time get a real dog at the local shelter not a designer dog from a puppy mill or your local flea market.

Issadog Boss I understand. 😕 Yes, my next dog will come from a shelter. I got him in college and didn’t do all the research 💁🏽‍♀️

@@BreannLaFaye There are poodle mixes no one want, but girls think look cute. Not much difference, except they have less health issues and get be adopted for next to nothing.

Parvo vaccinations are more or less mandatory for any dog you get, and they only cost $13 for the shot and booster if you do it yourself.

You give them alfalfa right? They need a good amount of it in their diet

That's a perfect pet, if it's hungry you can also just go outside. Grass is free.

emily williams yeah I have a foraging book I bought specially when I got them, there 5 years old now and they do get Timothy hay mix but I get bulk 1bag can last a year.

david kowalkowski they do go out on the lead with me when I go to the garden but there are lots of fox’s near us so I dont let them roam free. They have a pen outside we use in the summer where they can have fresh grass. I am know as the crazy rabbit man by the local school kids as “dude” my eldest rabbit likes to sit on the window ledge when they walk past cause he gets attention and likes to see wha there doing

I had a bunny too! Hay is so cheap and I buy 15lb pellets for $20 that lasts the entire year.

My cat... She destroyed our Italian leather couch, loveseat, armchair, and ottoman set.. Shredded the drywall with new wallpaper at every corner. And has the carpet ripped-up under every doorway.... Her name is Kesha

@@AntimonyxAngelwhy did you buy a Italian leather couch

@@theAppleWizzI had the furniture long before adopting my cat 😸 and just preferred leather at the time. Didn't think she'd be such a party animal: hence why her name is Kesha

A bored and unexercised dog can damage text books, pillow, furniture, clothing, carpet, railings & spindles, their own crate & bedding, shoes and pretty much anything they can reach. $400 is a pretty conservative estimate even when factoring in dogs that get sufficient exercise and stimulation and training.

Agreed, veggie patches are the best pet.

So sorry to hear about your experience. This was the one issue with the video I took exception with. They claimed that getting a dog from a shelter was healthier than getting a dog from a breeder/shop. But when you get a dog from a shelter you have no idea what its medical history could be. And if you buy from a reputable breeder you shouldn't have any problems with the health of the dog. I've had really loving and positive experiences with dogs from shelters. I hope one day that you get another furry friend and have it much better.

@@WilliamStonerock Define reputable breeder and what exactly that protects you against. I bought my Golden Retriever from a breeder who said that the parents had "hip guarantees". I was 13 so I thought that meant for the life of the animal. It was for 1 year. He developed hip dysplasia when he was 1 year and 1 month old. Any "pure bred" dog is inbred. That's why pure bred dogs have common health problems that they suffer from. A mixed breed dog has significantly more genetic variation and therefore resistance against some of the things that afflict breeds. Shelters like the SPCA will check and treat medical issues & at least the presenting symptoms should be known prior to adoption.

@@nekilof-2363 Reputable means "having a good reputation". Checking a breeder means doing your homework, talking to people, making sure the breeder is licensed, making sure they are members of AKC or ADBA or AAPDB, visiting their kennels to check the condition of the breeding parents, etc. Dogs are animals, and like any animal subject to birth defects. A reputable breeder will weed out defects and aim to make sure any pups they sell are as healthy as possible. If they don't, it hurts their reputation and they are no longer "reputable" and should be avoided. Shelters, as you stated, treat PRESENTING problems and usually have no idea of prior medical history or family history of heritable disease. Studies have shown that mixed breeds TEND to, but aren't guaranteed to, have better general health...however this lasts a single generation and significant problems can resurface in later generations. This is where a good breeder would cull defects to make sure they don't pass on. Impossible to do with a "mutt".

@@nekilof-2363 Didn't it said it adopted the puppy?

@@Superlegalyutube its a cost of a flat/apartment.

Get a bunny, they are cheap. Or get a dog anyways, they're kind of exaggerating the cost imo. Not all dogs damage property, not all dogs need special expensive food, not all dogs get sick (but all dogs can get sick), and some people really go overboard with what they spend on their animals.

What does that have to do with pets?

William Stonerock nothing to do with pets, obviously. It's a suggestion for a future video

This channel is for basic economical information their out come will be that the model 3 will be more expensive then a used car. True if you look at it from the perspective of saving. but if you look at it from the perspective of a 45K new car vs a model 3 the model 3 will be cheaper.

Much more useful than The Financial Diet

That last point - a bit brutal, but a sober view.

yeah, when I saw their cost for damages per year my first thought was "wouldn't it be cheaper to just train them not to do that!?"

That is without initial costs and special needs in old age. The total cost will be way more than 30k.

@@MetallicReg My dog wont live to old age. The moment his life starts to deteriorate I'll put a bullet in him

How much does that cost

I bought my pet wife from Russia for a couple of grand...

@@Vasileski88 That will cost you $100,000 in alimony once she gets citizenship and divorces you.

Pet boys and pet girls don't count, but the cost is immense

If only right?

They are in the g hetto.

My down payment and closing costs combined were around 4k.

hahaha you do know that you can put a down payment on a house with only 3% down right? example a 200,000k house will cost $6,000 Know if you are making 20K a year that would not be the best move. but if you are making a 60K a year or around 4,000 after taxs your mortgage payment will be 1,347.14 with the PMI (a insurance because you did not pay 20% down) which is 80.83 a month after 9 year you stop paying that $80.83 there is no reason to not buy a house if you have the income you do not need to save that much upfront

+PointyNipples -- If that $18,000 is a 10% down payment, that house costs $180,000. What the hell kind of mansions are you trying to buy that make a $180,000 home seem "cheap"? I dropped a $4000 down payment on my $80,000 house. Cost of living is MUCH more affordable outside of major cities. Even if you're looking for something in a city, you can still find decent homes for that price. What a silly comment.

What pet requires 2 hours a day for hygiene (or even just care in general)? I have a guinea pig and wash the cage once a week. For dogs you have to take walks but I think that time can be shorter than 2 hours total and still meet the dogs need (a bit depending on type of dogs). With cats you may need to take the cat litter somewhat regularly but 2 hours sound a bit much having actually lived with them, Id guess it takes like 30 minutes without hurrying. Maybe something like a horse requires that much time for cleaning the stable

@@zakosist I have cat (and also chicken), I clean the litters everyday, play string with cat for 15 minutes, clean the water & food bowl everyday, vacuum the floor or clean the tray under their cage every 2 week (or everyday for chicken), and find and retrieve cat that play outside everyday. Why so tedious with cleaning? because fleas and worm infestation happen before when I was much relaxed, now I'm keeping them clean. Now I found fungus infestation.... 😩, sigh...unfortunately I don't feel like I have any spare time to shower these cats with shampoo ... for now I just treat them with fungal medication. (I shampoo my hair everyday of course! 😅 )

@@xponen Okay I would simply not bother with all the extra cleaning you do (still do the basics). And cats are not supposed to be bathed anyway, if not in some really special circumstance like we had one cat that jumped into a bucket of diesel.

Doesn't that depends on the model and what apps you plan to install?

In losing my memtal stability so no F these stupid things.

$1400/yr?? Lol ok

These are AVERAGE numbers calculated. For every person like you that doesn't spend anything, there are people that spend thousands. I know people that spend hundreds per month just on daily dog walkers and sitters alone.

@@Spielzeit85 those people are either rich, or they are idiots. These people are making the case that it is likely that you'll spend something like that--The truth is that you won't, unless you want to and almost go out of your way to spend like that.

Much different feeling than "owning" a kid as well. I would rather have a kid than a dog and pay the difference

@@lagflag true that, I don't understand how people can even compare kids to dogs, no wonder why the European population is in decline

@@Mohtellawi Because some people prefer cute fluffy things to human babies

You do not own a child. They own you.

Plus in the end there is no bitch to pay child support to.

math does not work like that

For real. Most of the 'cost' can be be subtracted by training your dog yourself and put time into it to make it a balanced dog

You can definitely tell who puts time into thier pet and who simply throws money at it.

@Harley Quindizzle adoption is 15 bucks here

Just depends on your location. I've lived in places, like Tacoma/Seattle, WA where they want at least a few hundred at the shelter, and places like Bossier City, LA where it's usually 50-80.
