Can You Afford to Adopt a Pet?

There are costs associated with owning and caring for a pet. Be sensible about how much you can afford.

Here are bare minimim costs to consider:

Regular well-pet veterinary care
Quality Food and vitamins
Bedding
Grooming or grooming supplies
Sick, trauma, or emergency veterinary care
Vaccinations and other medical care as needed

Do you have the time and energy to feed, clean or groom, handle, train, exercise, and funds to take your pet to the veterinarian regularly?
