Yes mattstar it's about that much. Depends how well you look after your dog.

Feed around $20/wk, vitamins $5/week, trials $10/wk, vet $10/wk on an average. Muscle man $10/wk. Fuel to run around with dog $20/wk.

Coops $20 weekly fuel?? Shit you must be lucky to live close to a lot of tracks lol I go through about $100 fuel weekly just to trial, take dogs to mm, to races, go to petshop to buy kibble etc and to a meat supplier to get meat.
But for the average one dog yes Coops is about right.

Don't forget to factor in vet costs if anything happens to the dog, so always have an emergency fund on hand for unforeseen things happening, Mattstar.

Yes Lily I do live close to tracks. Furthest one away would be approx., 30klm. Closest one 10klms. Plus the car is on LPG. Meat is 8klms away and I get kibble at same place.
Vet is 10klms away, muscle man 0klms, check dog myself lol.

5kg lean beef $16, 7 days, kibble (pauls) $22, 6 months, 4x2 biscuits (Winning edge) 10kg $18.50. 8 months. Assorted vitamins $80 6 months.
