Our 8 year old Lab cost $800.00 as a puppy. His running tab is up to about $6000.00 and getting ready to go up some more. I never had a dog with so many leg problems.
$800.00
Add $5000.00 for Achilles Tendon surgery last Winter. Still needs the other one done.
On Wednesday he's going in to get an injection in his elbow for arthritis. I still love him like my son though.
