1. The average yearly cost to care for a dog is: about $1,350 yearly: or $110 a month.
2. If you get a puppy, the first year is rather pricy, due to all the vaccinations they require that first year. After that, they only need booster shots once a year, so the price gets better. What I would do, is call some of your local vets. Many will offer a "package" deal with a puppy for all it's vaccinations, rabies shot and even spay or neutering. You could also check to see if you have a low cost clinic around you.
3. If you contact a vet, there are pet insurances available. I'm going to look into it cause I have two dogs and sometimes things happen and it gets expensive.
