US dog owners spend an average of $28,000 over the pet's lifetime, a new study suggests.
Between the cost of kibble, vet visits, dog walkers, daycare, and pet insurance, owning a pet in America has never been more expensive, according to a recent study by the MarketWatch.
Dog owners in California face the steepest premiums, spending $35,452 on a pup in its lifetime - more than the price of a Tesla Model 3 after taxes.

My total output for that asshole dog Jack's food is about 600-700 bucks a year, and that's including dogfood, treats and his rawhide bones.
His vet visits for his vaccinations are $77 a year and a year's supply of heartworm meds run me about 120 bucks.
That's it. Period. No pet insurance, no doggy day care and no damned dog walkers.
