Consume money. Although the poor and the rich have their own ways of raising dogs, Golden Retriever is a medium and large dog, and it costs more than a small dog under the same conditions. Just like the uncle who keeps toy Teddy downstairs said, when he was a puppy, he was fed ten/twenty pieces of dog food. Twenty pieces of dog food is not enough for golden retriever puppies, hehe.
Fixed cost: According to the calculation of dog food per catty in 20 yuan, the cost of dog food alone will cost 500-600 yuan per month. In addition, food supplements such as grinding teeth sticks, beef bones, carrots, egg yolk, fruits, etc., and regular deworming and vaccination in and out of the body.
One-time expenses: needless to say, dog cages, dog kennels, dog bowls, etc., in case of a stall owner who loves to tear down the house, the dog kennel can still be a fixed monthly fee. There are all kinds of combs, electric clippers, bath hair conditioners, etc., as well as water blowers. Take a bath in a pet shop? In my third-tier small city, Golden Retriever takes a bath 80-100 yuan/time (actually it varies according to the weight), and Golden Retriever swims two or three times a week. It needs to be rinsed with clean water and then dried, so it can’t be sent to a pet shop every time.
If you don’t pay attention to Jin Damao’s illness, and the probability of Jin Damao’s skin disease is so high, it’s okay to get eczema. In case it’s stubborn fungi or demodex, you can easily get a month and a half’s salary by taking an injection and soaking in medicine bath. Some fungi can also infect people, and the owner of sensitive skin is really crying blind. If you are unlucky enough to suffer from CHD, you should take joint medicine or even painkillers every day, and you can’t stop taking medicine for life. About 5-6 yuan/day made in the United States, 8-9 yuan/day made in Australia, and even more expensive made in Britain, I can’t bear to calculate the price. This will cost another three or five hundred dollars a month. I haven’t started taking painkillers yet. I don’t know much about it. I heard that 3-5 yuan/tablet, two tablets a day, can be stopped when there is no pain.
Labor-consuming. The problem of hair loss of golden hair is well known, so I won’t say much, but no one has mentioned the problem of saliva! In summer, saliva is like a faucet, and the newly put saliva towel is like being fished out of the water in minutes! Excited and tossed, all items within one meter of Fiona Fang were not spared! I think the number of mopping the floor will increase, and I have to dry the saliva all over the floor without dog hair. There are more times of washing clothes, and he can get wet into a large piece by rubbing it on your clothes and pants casually. Dog kennels should be washed and aired frequently, and toys should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. These are all hard work. There are also carrying dog food, holding dogs up and down stairs, throwing them into the water when swimming, and pulling them back when jumping on people. Everything can exercise biceps brachii.
Time consuming. What kind of work up there doesn’t take time? I also have to take a walk every morning and evening, swim at a fixed time and so on.
It’s exhausting. It is a happy thing to have a dog. At least before having a dog, I thought that such a decision would make me happier. But some things really depend on luck, and it is not enough to be caring, patient and know how to raise them. Disease never cares for anyone because of their love. Dogs don’t know that they are sick, or they should eat, sleep, run and run. It’s really a kind of psychological torture that only the owner can watch and do nothing. It happened that Golden Retriever was so docile, clever and sensible, which made this kind of psychological torture even more unbearable.
Before raising a dog, I always feel that anyone who is loving, patient and knows how to raise a dog scientifically can have a dog. After raising a dog, I discovered that this responsibility for more than ten years is really heavy.
Having said that, as usual, take a picture and blacken your dog.
My family on Monday was 6 months and 6 days old, suffering from CHD.
