Raising puppies for service work isn’t cheap. We spend over $500 a month on just high quality dog food for our candidate dogs.
Heart worm is a big problem in the midwest. We spend over $150 a month in flea, tick and heart worm preventative medication just to keep our dogs candidates alive, happy and healthy.
Before a puppy can be placed with a disabled individual we must screen the dogs hips and elbows for dysplasia. X-rays, sedation and examination appointments can run over $1000 per dog.
Each puppy is taken out on weekly socialization adventures. Since we live 30 miles from the nearest city, we spent over 2 gallons of gas just trying to get to places to socialize our pups. From renaissance festivals, to amusement parks to towering sky scrapers, its takes a lot of gas to get there and back.
