The cost of owning a pet is a key factor when considering a pet, and this chart from the ASPCA breaks down costs you should expect for the first year after adopting a new animal companion.

The chart covers a number of popular pets.  You can see estimates for individual expenses—like food, litter, toys, and health insurance—as well as an overall first year total for each type of pet. The chart also gives you an idea of which expenses are reoccurring and which are likely a one time thing. As the ASPCA points out, these are the minimums, so you may need to budget more than this if you’re thinking of adopting an animal companion. . Don’t forget about unexpected vet visits and pet boarding fees for when you go away.

While you have many factors to think about when deciding on a new pet, the cost is an important one. If you prefer a PDF version of the chart, you can find it here.
