Money spent in August

Pretty much $0. Yay! - No vet visit - No new food - No new treat - No new supplies like toothpaste and shampoo

Money spent in July

In July, the total cost of things are:
1. $0 for food: he still has kibbles and I'm not counting the raw meat I feed him because the cost is negligible (he get a cut whenever I cook meat, so it's no big deal)
2. $26 for salmon oil
3. $0 for vet. I almost spent about $70~100 for his teeth extraction (His baby canines aren't coming out and he's already 7 months old). I learned that one vet charges $10 per tooth, $50 for anesthesia, while another charges $5 per tooth, $78 for anesthesia, and another $50 for miscellaneous "check-up" that's mandatory (what?)when you come for teeth extraction. That's a huge difference in cost! Anyway, I ended up not going because Kidou lost one of his two canines on the day I made the appointment, so I'm hoping the other would come off soon too. Besides, I'm not a big fan of anesthesia or any other chemical/drug because each has its own set of side-effects.
So anyway, July isn't too expensive!

I want to record my bills too

Some forum members have blogged about how much they've spent on their pets and I think it's a great idea. It helps educate current and perspective owners alike. I'm gonna do the same. On a side note: I really want to change the layout of this blog when I get more time on my hands. Kidou became part of the family on May 21st, 2011. Here's the monthly cost breakdown: May: $260 Even with just 10 days remaining, May is one of the most expensive months so far. Initial cost was about $190 on crates, toys, tooth paste, brush, etc. Food cost was about $70. Yes, I bought too much via Amazon even before he came home. First time owner's mistake. June: $35 Food still lasts. Just some spending here and there on toys, treats, and bully sticks.
