2. They may be less expensive to own
Small dogs consume less food than their larger counterparts, so you'll find that you may spend less on dog food. Even items like dog shampoo and medication may be more affordable, since you won't use as much as you would with a larger dog. You'll save money by being able to purchase smaller dog beds, crates, and toys, as well. While dogs are still quite expensive to own because of vet visits, medications, and other necessities, smaller dogs may be a more affordable option for those on a tighter budget.
