Having a Border Collie requires some financial budgeting. It is about 1000-1500 dollars. According to my own experience of raising a Border Collie, the monthly expenses of an adult Border Collie are as follows:
1. Feed cost:A good quality dog food is about 5 kilograms per month, which costs about 250 yuan per month at 50 yuan per kilogram. If you add some nutrients, the monthly feed cost is about 300 yuan.

Quality dog food is really important, I will choose a big brand good reputation of the product, to ensure that the little side of the shepherd eat healthy.
2. Daily necessities:This includes leashes, bowls, combs, toys and other consumables. It costs about 50-100 dollars per month. If you need to buy large equipment, such as kennels, dog bags, etc., you need a separate budget.
The daily necessities of my Border Collie also require a certain budget each month, such as leashes, water bowls, combs and other consumables, which require about 50-100 yuan each month. If you want to buy a large kennel or dog bag, you need to spend extra. The replacement of these daily necessities also needs to be considered in the dog budget. I would prioritize brands that are practical and durable, but not overly flashy.

My border herdsman's bath care supplies also need to spend a certain budget, such as bath liquid, hair care liquid, comb, etc., which will cost about 30-50 yuan per month.

Exercise and play are very important to the physical and mental health of the animal, and you can't save money on this.
