Pet ownership cost calculator
Fill in the costs you already have or expect. The calculation adds them up, shows the monthly and yearly total and adds a 15% buffer for vet emergencies.
The 15% buffer covers what cannot be planned: a dental procedure, an X-ray, a treatment lasting weeks. A single surgical emergency often costs as much as a full year of routine care.
Frequently asked questions
Is insurance worth it?
It depends on breed and age. For breeds prone to joint or heart problems, the annual premium is usually less than a single procedure.
Which costs do people forget?
Monthly parasite control, boarding over holidays, and dental scaling under anaesthetic, which is a predictable cost for most animals past 5 years old.
