A NOTE FROM BAMA HUSKIES
More prepared.
More time for the good stuff.
A budget is one part of giving your puppy a great start. Time, patience, and a place in your family matter, too.
Count each expense once.
Plan for costs after your puppy comes home. Review go-home records and what you already own, then adjust supplies and routine care accordingly.
Leave a little breathing room.
Unexpected care is not included in the essentials. Add emergency savings or insurance if they fit your plan, and review coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
