costs associated with dogs?
My dad fell ill around a year ago and has been finding it increasingly difficult to take care of his 3yo German Shephard. I’m debating if it makes sense to take over care for his dog, or if I should help him look into giving him away. 589
I own two cats (one is 2yo, the other is 5) and although I’ve had cats for years now, I have not had experience with dogs before.
I was wondering if anyone can share how much it costs monthly to raise a large sized dog? Is it hard to socialize them with cats? How different is it to raise a dog vs. raising cats? I live in a small, two bedroom apartment and my roommate says she’s chill with getting a dog, but I’m also concerned about space.
My dad would be devastated to give away his dog, but I’m not entirely sure I can handle it. Any insight is much appreciated! 661
