Larger dog breeds like Great Danes, golden retrievers and Labs need more food, which costs more compared to a spaniel or terrier. However, some small breeds, like poodles, need more grooming maintenance. Consider your breed’s special needs in addition to regular vet visits, vaccinations, dog collars, leashes, chew toys, kennels and everything else all dogs need.
