The True Cost vs. Investment of Dog Owne...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

You’ve probably heard the saying, dogs are man’s and woman’s best friend. Well, I can tell you after getting our pup Winnie this year, that is for sure a true statement. We all know dogs are so much more than that, they are true family members. What is also true is that dogs can be an expensive investment. I don’t even want to tell you how much money we’ve already spent on toys and chews alone in the first 6 months of having Winnie, which I am sure all you dog parents can relate to.

So I thought it made sense to devote a whole episode to our furry best friends and explore dog ownership, the costs vs. investment. Our guest on this dogolicious episode is Krista Karpowich who owns Wag Out Loud and is the host of the Wag Out Loud pawdcast. The Wag Out Loud pawdcast is a show that helps us pet parents to be the best advocate for your dog’s health and wellness. She’s here to share everything she knows about dogs including how much money to spend on food, what to feed your dog, what kind of pet insurance she loves, how much money to devote to training, treats and toys, and so much more. Whether you have a dog or are looking to bring one into your life, this episode is for you.
