If mine was only 2k a year, that would be really cheap.

This year I got two more puppies to add to my 15 year old lab mix. My lab mix eats food that costs me about 25 a week so 1300 a year on his food alone.

My two puppies eat 70 every two weeks so that is another 1800 a year.

Interceptor is about 20 a month I think so another 240 a year.

Treats are probably another 4-500 a year.

I bought a pro set of clippers, scissors, and combs for the two puppies so I can groom them and spent around 600 total on all of that.

I would say that I spend 4k a year pretty easy on my dogs plus the work of grooming them monthly and the cost of investing in that gear.

As ours got older and had more specific nutrition needs, we learned how to cook for her. Turns out to be remarkably economical. We made big batches and froze them in plastic containers, just get a new one to thaw in the fridge every couple of days. She's gone now though, almost made it to 15, which is very old for her breed.
