September 2014 Expenses

Typically, the first day of a new month has me calculating how much I spent on my dogs in the previous month.  This month I am doing it on the final day of the month at hand.  Some months the numbers are low, others are a bit much.  Previous posts about expenses can give one an idea about how much it costs to care for three large breed dogs in the Midwest.

I do these posts for a few reasons.  I have seen a few other bloggers do them, and it is a good way for me to keep track and be accountable for dog related expenses.  Also, it is a fairly accurate example of the costs associated with caring for three large dogs.  Some argue that raw is expensive, but in my opinion and experience, it is no more expensive than feeding a good quality kibble.

September 2014 Expenses

Food-$157.88
Health-$8.00
Treats-$40.00

Total-$205.88

This was a simple, inexpensive month.  

Food was an order from Raw Paws, and some chicken leg quarters and pork shoulders from the grocery store.

Health was the cost of Bruce's prescription.

Treats was a PetBox, which I still need to cancel.
