Just my opinion.. but if you're looking to get a dog based on cost.. you don't need a dog. That being said.. my dog is spoiled. Eats the same as Cofi's. Bout 25# a month. Depends on how active I've had him. He currently weighs in at 71#

He's on Orijen for food. Roughly $1k/yr. Not counting treats, toys. The couple trips to the vet for shots haven't been much at all. Maybe $200 since he was a pup. Neutered another $100. No major medical issues.. just a typical gas bag of a pit.
