FRUGAL FIDO?
The Money Real Talk You Need To Know Before You Get A Pet ([link removed])

Today, we’ve got Jana Pollack digging into one of the most beloved and potentially expensive aspects of your family: the dog. She recently became a dog owner through a very specific set of circumstances: her mother-in-law died and their family inherited her 19-year-old terrier, Polo. And boy, was there a learning curve: “For me, it was a lightning fast transition from being someone who’d never had a pet in my life to becoming a full-time dog owner,” she writes.

She realized pretty quickly that they’re a dog family now, and will be even when Polo is no more… and she had questions: “If we decide to get a new dog once Polo passes away, what does that mean? What should we realistically expect to spend in our first year if we got a puppy? And what about afterward?” She’s digging into it for herself, and for you, too.
