Owners Of Big Boofy Rescues!

I'm too scared to add it all up!

Bigger harnesses, beds, collars, flea stuff, food worm stuff, vacc - all adds up compared with a smaller dog.

What I find a bit daunting though is the thought of one day being in a situation with Stevie when she's helpless and I have to carry her. She was bitten by a bull-ant at the park one day and wouldn't put weight on her foot but we were a slow limping 20 minute walk from the car. If it had been a snake, I don't know how I'd have found someone to help me carry a 38kg dog, let alone lift her into the car.

I do love my boof-head though, with her big eyes and beautiful ears and never having to bend down to give her a treat!

This is Mosley, he's an Anatolian/Maremma - 18 months - 45kg

He doesn't really eat THAT much more than Lili (22kg). The main difference in costs is heartworm/flea treatment and if heneeds vet treatment/medication he needs more of everything so that can add up.

To be honest though, the cost is not much different to any other dog, and the big boofhead love is totally worth it

Aussie3 Mosley has grown into a handsome man.

My girl (Rottie X, not rescue though) does not cost anymore than my other guys to feed. We dont have a flea problem here, she gets 3 yearly Vaccs (around $90 i think), worming obviously costs a bit more, ad if she needs meds from the vets it she needs more which cost more.

And just because.......
