Oh yeah I forgot the sweet/summer itch my horse has... Treating that every summer ends up costing at least 60€ for the summer, not to mention when she decides to shread her hood in three pieces so I have to get her another one untill I can fix the broken one... Not to mention if she would shread her itch rug, that would be at least a 100€ to replace and possibly lot more if I'd want a really good quality rugs. But for 100 you get okay, so okay is what I buy.

Ugh, yes.

My Lucy is allergic to everything it seems, and being a (very smart, and by smart I mean she knows how to open cupboards and our fridge) Great Dane, nothing is safe unless locked in my bedroom. Then we have to take her to the vet and pay for allergy medication and special food. I am taking three agility classes/practices a week with her (89$ per 6 week sets per class, so 267$ every 6 weeks until I can get my own equipment which is more money. I just got her a new leash as she chewed through the old one.

Not to mention the two cats and betta fish. (And the two cats, Waylon and Cinders, are my babies so I will admit I spoil them rotten, showering them with treats and toys constantly ;w;)

I like to splurge on my animals :D My turtle, who I don't even like, is going to be getting a 200 gallon stock tank, which is 80 gallons more then she needs, and it comes with a prebuilt land area for her. And I'm going to be customizing it a bit. And Clemmy will be getting a jacket with in the next couple weeks :)

I spend a lot on my pets too. I have to buy more food for my birds now that I have two new cockatiels who eat a lot plus my parakeet who likes to turn her bowl upside down to spill food everywhere! Also im planning on getting all of their wings clipped. I have two fish tanks now too so I have to buy more gravel. And we're going to get my two chihuahuas fixed.

I do spend a ton of money on my dog. Sometimes I go a bit overboard (I like to get lots of different collars for her, different colors and designs, mostly cause I don't put clothes on my dog, lol), but the majority of my money spent on her is her food. Okami is on a raw diet, and about once a year-ish a buy a whole crap load of meat and organs, thaw them all out, and then stow them into individual containers and then into a chest freezer.

I also consider the majority of my savings to be in case of an emergency that involves Okami. She is one of the most important things in my life :3

I love splurging on my reptiles, and occasionally the dog, but more on the reptiles. :3

This happens to me ALL the time. Especially since we own 2 spoiled dogs, and then I'm an equestrian. And the horse sport is probably the most expensive sport out there.

My mom (lucky me! I don't have to pay :D) Pays probably over a thousand a month just for our animals.

But I guesssssss its worth it :D.
-quit for the most part, though i log on occasionally.

The most I ever spent for a pet was for this little guy~

I spent $450 to be able to bring him on a plane with me when I moved a few years ago, but he was defiantly worth the money!
