[Dailydrool] Bassets expensive?

[Karen]

I think that this survey is a bit slanted because it was done by a pet insurance 
company.  Maybe there are a lot of bassets in the UK like the Great Morse
who likes certain snacks, rock swallowers, or other snacks that means a lot
of vet visits?  I am sure they probably included grooming costs (Momma wat
a groomer?) and of course the cost of the insurance.   Of course as our kidz 
become seniors they cost a little more.

I know that beyond food I never really stop to think about how much the gang
cost each year.  When I find a good deal on toys then I stock up.  Supplements
are limited here because I know that the gang is on a great food which also 
decreases the amount I spend at the vet.  I scrap tartar if I see it forming. I make
the treats which means I don't have to worry about recalls.  If the gang needs 
meds then I ask for the RX to be called to Wal-Mart.  I love $4 scripts and my
vet understands that with how big the gang is I need to save somewhere.  In 
reality I don't want to think about how much the gang cost. 

The only place I don't scrimp is on going to the kidz doc.  Doc is a little more
expensive than some of the others but I believe you get what you pay for.  Doc
is more than worth the $45 visit.   

I am sure I could take a really great vacation to an exotic location but I would 
still prefer to have the gang with all the rolling furballs, slurpy kisses, upturned bellies, happy wagging tails and all the love they give.   

Basset love is Priceless!!
