<prompt> Human: Hello all,I am a 22 year old male who lives on his own. I would like to get a dog, I am positive I want one for every reason except I am not sure about budgeting for it. I wont get a dog if I cant give her good food, and take her to the vet Everytime I should. I believe I make more than enough to manage a dog but my question for any dog owners in this group is how much does your dog cost you every month?Specifically I am looking to get a Labrador retriever.Thanks!Assistant: extra 25 on my rent, 75 in food, 25 for toys and bags and stuff. for a medium size dogHuman: Thank you! That is not as bad as I had thought, I just have never had one so I didnt even have a rough estimate  <response>: Dont forget most apartments these days have a separate, large, non refundable pet deposit, fines if you dont clean up after the dogs outside, and they will charge you for all pet related damage.
