    If you mean pet insurance that can run a bit under or over $25 per mo.
    Inoculations can run $20 & up – but if you call your local ASPCA you may find free or discounted shots for pets.

    There is not approximate cost …but I guess you will have to consider the dogs health care, grooming, supplies, ect…

    If you get a dog from a shelter, they come with a clean bill of health and they cost less than 75$ and they come with shots, worming , and spay and neuter.

    Depends on the vet you go to. Some vets have discounted health plans that you can sign up for. And with the plan you gets so much off your bell and sometimes free vaccinations and spay/neuter. But if your dog gets sick or needs surgery than it gets costly. You should make sure you can afford the worst. A dog can be costly.

    it depends on where u live, but overall, its NOT cheap. small dog or not its NOT cheap. so be sure ur really committed to paying for the bills.
    the first yr can cost anywhere from 500 or more. u need to get them dewromed, have all their shots, initial and recurring checkups to make sure theyre adjusting alright as puppies. and then of course theres speaying/neutering which is done at the end of the first yr which can cost a lot, usually at least 300. then the yrs after that it would be around 150 *minimum* for annual vaccines.
