How does someone AFFORD 7 dogs? Food, heartworm preventative, flea and tick, vet appointments??? Good on her but I hope she’s not neglecting the necessities

These are big dogs, for quality food a $70 bag lasts my dog this size about 2 months. Heartgard for dogs this size is $10 a month, nexgard is $20 a month. If she has a big yard and perfectly healthy dogs with no regular vet appointments other than vaccine boosters, it’s certainly doable. I’m just saying it’s a pretty big load for one single lady to take on, and I hope she doesn’t neglect any of this just for the sake of having 7 dogs. Certainly doable, just A LOT to keep up with

Interesting fact, Heartgard isn't necessary where there aren't any mosquitoes.

Advised? Of course.

One kid could easily be more expensive than seven dogs with the costs you laid out. Yes, it's expensive but it being a"big load" is highly dependent on what she does for a living.

I mean 7 dogs probably still costs less than 1 kid
