How much does a dog or cat cost per year?

The ASPCA estimates annual dog ownership costs at $1,000–$3,000+ and cat costs at $800–$1,500+, depending on size, health, location, and whether you use pet insurance. Use this calculator to estimate your specific situation.

Should I include one-time startup costs?

This calculator focuses on recurring costs. For one-time items like crates, beds, or adoption fees, add them separately to your first-year budget estimate.
