Methodology (How Costs Are Calculated)<\/b><\/h2>\n

1) By using the prices of individual aspects available online, such as products on the Pets at Home website and listings on UkPets.com as well as other means, this report provides a comprehensive breakdown of the average cost of owning a dog throughout its lifetime.<\/p>\n

2) The report is unique in that it looks into the cost of different sizes of dogs<\/u> to provide an insight into the greater cost difference between the most and least expensive dogs.<\/p>\n

3) Finally, with the use of an inflation forecast, Household Pets is able to accurately estimate the cost of owning a dog for 2024, 2025, 2026, and so on to give an accurate insight into the future cost of ownership.<\/p>\n

This report aims to provide pet owners with the information they need to make an informed decision about which size of dog, if any, is best for them and their circumstances.<\/p>\n

Results<\/b><\/h2>\n

Broadly, the cost of owning a dog can be broken into overall lifetime costs, and average monthly costs.<\/p>\n

We have split findings up by small to giant dogs, as they have different food\/care needs, and different life expectancies – which changes the expected cost both on a lifetime and monthly timeline.<\/p>\n

Detailed Data – See All the Costs of Owning a Dog<\/h2>\n

Generally, the cost of owning a dog can be broken down into two main categories \u2013 initial costs and ongoing costs.<\/p>\n

Initial costs<\/u>\u00a0include purchasing the dog, vet costs, and buying essential products, such as food, bed, toys, etc.<\/p>\n

Ongoing costs<\/u>\u00a0refer to the regular costs associated with owning a dog, like vet boosters, food, insurance, and so on.<\/p>\n

The tables below show the list of individual items bought when owning a dog and the costs of each.<\/p>\n

Initial Costs<\/h2>\n

The initial costs will vary depending on the dog\u2019s breed, the age of the dog, and also the quality of the products.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, dog owners can expect to pay anywhere from \u00a31,209.57 to \u00a312,661.50 in the first year of owning a dog.<\/p>\n

Costs of the Puppy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Type of Dog Breed<\/strong><\/th>\nMinimum Cost<\/strong><\/th>\nMid Cost<\/strong><\/th>\nMaximum Cost<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Pedigree Puppy<\/td>\n\u00a3700.00<\/td>\n\u00a31,300.00<\/td>\n\u00a32,995.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The price of pedigree and crossbreed dogs differ; this is due to most pedigree dogs being more expensive than dogs that are crossbred.<\/p>\n

For example, the minimum cost of buying a crossbreed puppy can be as little as \u00a350, but a pedigree puppy would likely cost more than \u00a3700 at the cheapest price. This is a difference of \u00a3650.<\/p>\n

This can change if the puppy is from a rescue organisation, such as Dog\u2019s Trust, or if it is an adult dog.<\/p>\n

In the first year of owning a puppy, which is often one of the most expensive years, it could cost up to \u00a312,661.50. This first year includes the cost of the puppy, vaccinations, microchipping, neutering\/spaying, insurance, food and other essential products, such as a bed, collar, lead, toys, etc.<\/p>\n

Insurance for puppies is often slightly more expensive than it is for one-year-old dogs. A year\u2019s insurance for a puppy could see owners spend \u00a3279.60 on average. This, when coupled with neutering, initial vaccinations, microchipping, etc., could cost up to \u00a3678.<\/p>\n

Ongoing Costs<\/h2>\n

The ongoing costs can also vary depending on the size and breed of the dog as well as the quality of the products bought.<\/p>\n

Dog owners could spend between \u00a317,636.06 and \u00a3106,948.40 throughout their dogs\u2019 lives, according to data found by Household Pets.<\/p>\n

After buying the dog in 2023, owners can expect to spend between \u00a3859.67 and \u00a38,482.90 the next year, in 2024. With inflation, this annual is predicted to rise year-on-year.<\/p>\n

Cost to Feed a Dog<\/h3>\n

Food is one of the most expensive aspects of the ongoing costs. Wet food for a full year could cost dog owners between \u00a3417.52 and \u00a35,798.81, depending on the size of the dog. For example, giant dogs could consume 950kg of wet dog food annually, which is the equivalent of two female highland cows.<\/p>\n
