		<description>Costs are a bit cheaper in my area than some of the costs I have seen above.  

I spend probably about $400 a year on all things vet related (immunizations, heartworm preventative, check up costs, etc.).  

The cost of dog food per month runs about $20, but I buy NutroMax which is not the cheap stuff.  My dog also does not wear out his bowls, bedding, crate, leashes, etc. so those things we bought years ago are still perfectly fine.  We buy &quot;Greenie&quot; treats and bones occasionally, I couldn&#039;t guess accurately on that.

We buy a new collar probably about twice a year, so that&#039;s maybe $25 in collar expenses.

We groom the dog ourselves on a regular basis, except for the nail trimming and gland draining.  We don&#039;t do the nails because they are too dark and we don&#039;t want to draw blood.  The glands exceed my limits on the gross factor and I believe that service is well worth the money.  Usually, to get nails trimmed and glands drained, it costs me $10 total, and it gets done when needed.

So, very roughly, we spend about $750 a year.  ($62.50 per month)

I think this depends on the cost of living in your area, the size of the dog, and the complexity of the dog&#039;s coat, among other things. 

Hope this helps! :-)</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know about a small dog but it will most likely cost less because you wont have to buy as much food. According tot his website i found it says the monthly cost of owning a dog is from $60-$235 ($200-$700 per year). IF you go to the website listed below they have a chart  for food costs and everything. I hope this helps. :)</description>
