March 2015 Expenses

It's the end of the month., and I have calculated my expenses for the previous month. 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 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.


March 2015 Expenses

Food-$127.38
Health-$18.00
Treats/Toys-$40.00

Total-$185.38

After last month, I am very pleased with this total.  We came in way under budget on food.  I ordered some beef heart, chunks, and green tripe from a supplier.  I purchased some chicken leg quarters at the grocery store, and a small bag of dehydrated I and Love and You raw at the grocery store.  Health expenses was the cost of Bruce's prescription, and of course the treat/toys' total goes to the PetBox.  I still haven't cancelled it, as apparently I have short term memory problems...

  3. I like the idea of listing expenses each month. You're right some months are less than others. Those are the months to celebrate! Congrats on this month's totals.
