Dubai: Pets make great companions, bringing us immeasurable joy. Many a times our furry friends even ease our anxious minds. If pets are a source of happiness and positivity for us, we too have certain responsibilities towards them. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment, one that also involves careful financial planning.
Technically, financial planning starts even before the pet comes home. The adoption fee for a dog is roughly Dh1,500, which includes the first round of vaccination and microchip. But that’s only the beginning. Add some basic items like food, bowls, bed, leash, collar, toys and we are looking at an expense of Dh2,000 on the very first day.
