A dog's reputation as "man's best friend" is well-deserved.
Dogs (and pups!) are adorable and charming, but they may be costly.
Adopting a dog or puppy incurs expenses, and those costs can mount up fast.
The cost of dog ownership may quickly add up, covering everything
from the essentials like food and preventative treatments to the luxuries like toys and treats.
In addition, thousands of dollars in costs might pile up in the event of a
medical emergency or unanticipated surgery for your beloved pet if you do not possess pet insurance.
