Those expenses you never think about

Many shelters/rescues provide or ask you to estimate what the annual cost is of owning a pet.

Everyone thinks of the obvious; food, cages, vet visits, toys. . .

But no one often thinks of:

• storage containers
• stuff to clean up puke or poop
  
• bedding for incontinent pets (rabbits)
• diapers for incontinent pets (rabbits)
• baby gates (rabbits, dogs)
• new flooring (cat, dog, rabbits - four times)
• new bags of aquarium gravel (dog)
• ruined treadmill (cat)
• ruined air mattress (cat)
  
• new light fixtures (rabbit)
• new room fans (rabbit)
• new refrigerator cord (rabbit)
• new printer (rabbit)
  
• new telephone and answering machine (rabbits)
• new computer keyboard (rabbit)
• new foodsaver (cat)
• new Christmas tree ornaments (rabbit, dog)
• baseboards (rabbit)
• trim (rabbit)
• drywall (rabbit)
• furniture (rabbit)
• chewed up books (rabbit)
