The budget – friendly way of raising a dog… actually, no matter what breed of dog you raise, there will be many unexpected expenses.
Bichon Frises have thick fur that is difficult to manage. Their white fur gets dirty easily. If you bathe the dog at home instead of going to a pet store, a domestic – made dog shampoo and conditioner cost around 80 – 100 yuan. A high – power hair dryer costs over 100 yuan. A pin brush is about 30 yuan, and a slicker brush is 10 – 30 yuan. These are necessary for detangling and brushing the fur. A clipper costs around 100 yuan for shaving the belly fur, paw – pad fur, or just trimming the little paws. If you go to a pet store for a bath, it’s probably 30 – 50 yuan each time, depending on the consumption level of the city.
Even with a budget – friendly approach, the dog food can’t be too bad. Otherwise, the dog will have minor health problems. Also, Bichon Frises are not a small – sized breed, and they are quite gluttonous. The food intake of an 8 – 9 – jin Bichon Frise is really twice that of an 8 – 9 – jin Poodle. Domestic – made dog food costs about 100 – 200 yuan per month.
Since we are raising the dog on a budget, things like nutritional paste, turtle egg powder, and snacks are not included. However, lecithin is a must – buy. Feeding egg yolks at home doesn’t have a good effect on promoting hair growth. After all, the period for hair growth is only once. If the fur doesn’t grow well when the dog grows up, you’ll regret it. A can of lecithin costs over 100 yuan and can last for 3 – 4 months. Although it’s a budget – friendly way of raising, shark bone powder and chondroitin are also recommended if possible. Otherwise, problems with the patella in the later stage will cost a lot of money.
Internal deworming is done once every three months, costing about 30 yuan, and external deworming is done once a month, costing about 40 yuan.
A dog bed costs 30 – 50 yuan, pee – pads, which are consumables, cost 30 – 50 yuan per month, a leash costs 20 – 30 yuan. Buying one or two pieces of clothes for winter costs 30 – 50 yuan. Grooming is done once every two or three months, costing 100 – 200 yuan. Annual vaccinations cost about 300 yuan. Probiotics are a must – buy! Otherwise, if the dog has a stomach problem and you take it to the hospital, it will be really expensive! A box costs about 50 yuan.
In general, it costs about 300 – 500 yuan per month. Actually, before raising a dog or a cat, you must think carefully about whether you can accompany it for a lifetime. It may destroy things, be naughty, pee and poop everywhere, bark a lot, or get sick… You must be mentally prepared before deciding to raise them. After all, your decision is their whole life.
