Do You Really Want A Big Dog? (cont.)

You will quickly learn that the costs connected with ownership of a big dog are also large.  Whenever your big dog needs medical care beyond the basic exam; the fees are enormous.  I am referring to teeth cleaning, x-rays, any surgery requiring anesthesia; some vets actually class Saint Bernard as Giant not just Large.  If your big dog needs medications that will cost more as well; larger doses are required and they cost more.
