Furry Friends with Difficult Decisions


"Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful, and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up too," In the words of Alfred A. Montapert. Everybody needs a friend in the house, even if they have four legs and a tail. There are some similarities that dogs and cats have in common, they are also very different. Dogs and cats are two types of the most popular pets. Some people have one of each in their household, or just one of one. Through the multiple topics of each animal, we will look at the similarities and differences between the two. Maybe even find out why some people are cat lovers and dog lovers. Finances, life style, and rules and regulations will show a preview if anyone was to choose a cat or dog for adoption.
Cats are less expensive with food and medical bills, they even cost less if you want to adopt them. Finances, when it comes to a pet they are treated like a child most of the time, such as a new born baby. We make sure they eat healthy and stay safe. We take them to their doctor checkups and haircuts once a month, that all cost money. Dogs, big or little seem to cost the most according to ASPCA, American Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals. Small dogs $580 as your annual cost with the food, medical, toys, license, and misc. Medium dogs would add up to $695 and a large dog would total as $875. This is the insane, dogs for the first year the cost total will be from $1,314-$1,843. Some people did not know this and those people were shocked because they are dog lovers. On the other hand, cats are not so expensive as dogs, it shows that cats with their food, medical, little, toys and treats. Annual cost is $670, then the first year total is $1,035. A little bit of difference in financing, cats don’t make your finances go high but, it also depends on what your pets goes through.
