It's National Pet Day - and damn, does taking care of a dog or cat take a lot of scratch! 💰 🐈 🐕 But despite pets fetching hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars per year, many people call their fur babies their best return on investment.
Taking care of a dog or cat takes a lot of scratch. In fact, four in 10 pet owners in a recent survey — just in time for National Pet Day on April 11 — said they’ve cut back on their grocery bill so that they could keep feeding their dogs.
Rover surveyed 1,500 pet parents in the U.S. about what they spend on essentials such as food, veterinary care, poop bags, kitty litter, toys, medication and more, to come up with the spending ranges for dog and cat expenditures over a year. And what people pay for their pets can vary based on the breed, their pet’s age, whether the animal has any medical conditions, where the family lives, etc., which is why the report gives a range rather than one average figure.
But that’s still not even the full picture, as the annual essentials roundup for each pet doesn’t include the upfront costs of adopting a dog or cat , which can include adoption fees, microchipping, getting the pet spayed or neutered, purchasing startup supplies like beds and litter boxes, etc. In fact, most of the folks that Rover surveyed ended up spending more on their new furry friend than what they originally budgeted.
