When you are looking for a loyal companion without breaking the bank, there are a variety of breeds that can fit your budget. From small lap dogs to larger working breeds, these dogs may be low in cost but will bring joy and companionship into your life.
While all dog owners should consider the costs associated with ownership such as food, grooming supplies, vet bills and more when selecting a pet, some dog breeds require less money overall due to their size or minimal grooming needs. Here is a look at some of the cheapest dogs to own.
2Greyhound
Greyhounds are one of the most affordable purebred dog breeds out there. Not only is their initial cost quite low, but they also require less food than other breeds and are typically healthy dogs with fewer medical expenses.
Greyhounds have a unique combination of strength, agility and speed that make them a great companion for any active owner; yet unlike some other active breeds, they are not overly high-energy or prone to hyperactivity. They enjoy quiet times just as much as outdoor play and love being part of the family. With proper nutrition and exercise, Greyhounds can live as long as 12–14 years, making them a great long-term investment.
