So you are aware that pets can be expensive to own. A cat can cost something around $12,000 a year to own and the dog can cost twice as much. So surely if you went with one of the small pets – a bird or a rabbit or something – surely that wouldn't really hurt financially, would it?
Well, before you actually go for one of the small pets, you really need to sit down for a talk with your vet. To most people, it seems hard to imagine that these little things can actually have healthcare needs; they learn quickly enough when their pet fall ill though. Unfortunately, most people are not willing to spend big bucks on small pets the way they are with a cat or dog.
For instance, let's say that you choose to buy a cute little bunny. How much could that little guy possibly cost you? About $1000 over his lifetime? Well, you’d be surprised.
