It’s best to let someone else do that for you.
You might want to reconsider getting a dog. Purchasing a dog is the least expensive part. The cost of preventative care will eventually surpass the cost of your canine freind in its lifetime. If it gets injured or I'll the cost can be in the thousands. I would consult with a veterinarian in your area to see what preventative care recommendations they can provide for your region. Without proper vaccinations and parasite control, you could be in for a very costly adventure should your dog become Ill. Don't knock a slight mark up in products from the vet. They have committed a significant amount of their life becoming properly educated and trained to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet.
Absolutely; however, according to one of his earlier posts in this thread he had 2 dogs in the past, but got rid of them when they got too expensive.
He is in for a shock. Lives in an area where leptospirosis and heartworm are common. Talking $200 per year just for heartworm prevention alone.
If a dog gets too sick or injured for economic feasibility, it prudently gets put down by money-conscious folks. Poor sick humans don't get put down because there is VA/Medicare and Medicaid. Animals on farms and ranches who can't earn their keep, well you know the rest...
You mean that Once a Month Wormer Hartz sells in stores won't work anymore? This website gives natural solutions to control dog worms in including carrots.
