The REAL cost of pet ownership

S04E07. How much does it really cost to be a pet owner? My friend Irene and I chat about budgeting for a pet, what kind of prep you need to do in order to become a pet owner, adopting vs. buying, and unexpected costs Irene encountered in her first year of adopting her greyhound, Toby. Irene mentions that feeding her dog raw is one of the largest recurring expenses, but after recording we were chatting and she mentioned that making your own raw blend is a more affordable option! Link below for an example. This episode is part one of two, next week we continue the conversation about being a pet parent, and chat about pet insurance. Be sure to check out Toby on Instagram - he's quite the influencer!
