Hi ...
Basically it all depends on what breed of the dog and where do you get the dog from. If you get a smaller breed, you definitely spend less on the food ... If I've got only 1 Maltese, I only spend bout 40 - 50 on food, shampoo and supplement. If big dog, sure more, la ... and if that particular month have to go vaccination, sure spend a little more..
Where you get your dog is also important cos if you get a healthy one, no problem. But if you get something no so good, you'll end up with a lot of medical fee...

yeap, I agree with Swee Eng. We have a Golden, spend about RM150-200 each month on food and misc. We spent more $$ at the initial stage on her medical fees like medical checkup, vaccines, other minor illness...

Hi,
I did check this matter lso bcos my puppy is coming soon n i found that all vet got different charges on jab for puppy. After some research, i decided to bring my puppy to a vet clinic at Cheras, Tmn Segar, they charge 6 in 1 for RM36 n 7 in 1 for RM55, i think it's cheaper than other vet n bside that, this vet quite near to my house. All depend to different age of dog u keep, adult dog need 1 jab every year but puppy need 3 jab from 2nd mth to 4th mth.

Hi there !!
I do agree on sweeeng & trivor as it really depends on what type and size of dog you want to have.
For me, since the first day i took my furkid home. we really have to plan what to buy for them. shampoo, ear cleaner...i would say that for the first few months you will have to spend more for a puppy as they need three jabs and so on. their food is more expensive than the adult dog food. they need more nutrients. after that, you will only need to spend for food and supplements for each month.

Hi KawChai,
Sorry i cany remember the name of the clinic but i rather call there a animal hospital bcos they got many 'patient' stay over there, they didnt sell dog but all accosseries n foods, they having a under ground tunnel to keep healthy adult dog. It's corner shop lot, very izzi to find, i think it's cheaper than other vet.

Hi snowflake,
It's just a guess from me accroding to your description of whereabout the clinic. It sounds familiar to me as I'm from Cheras and have sent my dogs to this vet for 10 yrs. I think it is very important to have a good relationship with the vet so that to know about the dog's condition better (benefits both the vet & the owner). However, Don't just stick with ONE vet, second opinion from another vet is always encouraged. and my next recommmendation goes to the vet in Old Klang Road.
