1wI’d find it hard to get a good number on this. I have one dog that requires grooming, another that just needs a professional for nails, and a third that doesn’t need a professional for any of it. One of them also requires a special diet. A larger dog that requires grooming and more food would obviously cost a lot more than a small dog that doesn’t require grooming and eats less. The cost of the kibble food you recommend to cut costs would also be a factor depending on the brand or quality the owner picks plus the activity level and size of the dog. As an insurance for pets I’m sure you’re also aware different breeds have different medical needs. Also new owners especially need to consider the cost of training and consider the breed because some need more work than others 😊 also it’s good to consider enrichment toys and activities in the bill to save your belongings from becoming the enrichment plus a vet bill.
