We are looking to buy a field spaniel or similar as working gun dog.

It has been some time since myself or my partner have had a dog.

Could you give me an idea of the 'running' costs of a dog?

Ie. average feed cost, insurance, what vaccinations, worming, health checks etc are generally needed.

I know that for horses i have yearly jabs, usually quarterely worming, yearly health and teeth checks, shoeing etc.

So just looking for a general idea really to make sure we have a happy healthy dog, and we haven't missed anything important.
