i'm not surprised for the fish being the least costly to own and the dogs for the most expensive.

It's been a practice to feed fish to the dogs and dogs like it too...

How did you get to these costs? I think in some cases it can even be bigger than that, depending on breed, type of pet etc...

Also, what did you include? pet insurance, grooming, food?

of сontent so pеople could сonnесt wіth іt better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2
images. Мaybe you could spacе it out better?
