You dont need to. It is illegal for someone to ask for proof that your ailment. So if you want to take you dog somewhere just say that she is your helper dog and they cant question it. I used to do this with my aussie when I needed to take a bus with her.If someone ask for proof you can sew them.

Only a vet can help you. Go without something yourself so you can pay the vet. Borrow from family.Leave the lump alone until you take the dog to the vet in case you do some damage.

I’ll give you a run down of basic, cheap, not so great care and then of good quality care. Remember, sure you can get by with just the basics but there will be consequences. If you slack off on medical needs you may end up with high vet bills because your dog will get sick. If you slack off on buying good food your dog may suffer from allergies or get internal problems from the food. If you slack off on toys your dog may chew furniture or even walls! So the basic cheap way is NOT the way to properly raise a dog. But I figured I’d show you both numbers anywayBasicInitially you will have to get your puppy three sets of basic shots and 3 sets of wormers. If you go to a shot clinic you can do this for about $30 each time for shots and $5 for wormer.. So $35×3 = $105At some point you’ll also need to have the dog fixed, which would cost you $100-$300. You might think you don’t want to fix it but if that is the case you will be responsible for a litter of puppies and the bills run very high for whelping puppies.. Anywhere from $100-$2000! So it’s better to just get your dog fixed.Dog Food for a medium size dog (per year)$40 x 12 months = $480$35 Yearly shots$40 Leash, Collar, Food Bowls$50 Crate$40 cheap toys= $645 a year but with this budget your puppies accidents will go uncleaned, your house will probably get infested with fleas and your dog is going to chew up everything in site. Plus your dog will smell because this budget doesn’t leave any room for grooming expenses. It also doesn’t cover pet deposits incase your family doesn’t own their home. Landlords charge anywhere from $100 to twice a month’s rent as a deposit. If you live in a $1900 apartment in Baltimore, your family could have to pay $3800 just as a deposit. I live in a home where I have to pay $350 for each pet I have. That $350 isn’t refundable either!Quality Care$120 x 12 months = $1440 for Quality food (I spend $60-$70 on a single bag of dog food that may last me a week for my Labrador, with a smaller dog it might last two weeks)$150 – Vet Checkup and all shots (not just required)$20×12 months = $240- Teeth cleaning products$150 – Yearly supply of heartguard (prevents dogs from getting heartworms. If your dog isn’t on this and gets heartworms it will most likely die. It can cost you $800 or more to rid the dog of heartworms!$150 – Yearly supply of flea, tick and fly repellent (fleas give dogs worms and ticks can kill them.)$20×12 = $240 for grooming and nail trimming visits$20 x $12 = $240 for toys$100 = good crate/dog house or bed$100 x 2 ($100 every 6 months) = $200 for carpet cleaning$150 for obedience training.Leash and collar, dog food bowls, dog treats = $100I am sure there are more but the total for the above is $3160 a year.. and again, this doesn’t cover damage costs or rental pet deposits. Other things that you have to keep in mind is sometimes things happen that are out of your control. For instance, my mom’s cat got hit by a car and it cost her $1300 to fix that cat’s hip. A dog got into my mom’s yard and attacked her dachshund. It cost her almost $2000 to repair those injuries, the owner was never found so that money came out of my mom’s pocket. My mother in law had to take her dog to the vet a month or two back because it got very ill. They think someone poisoned it but they don’t know who would do such a thing. That Yorkie spent 5 days in the vet office and underwent all sorts of procedures. It cost me almost $1800 to save his life. – Sometimes animals just get sick. Animals get cancer just like the rest of us and it’s expensive to try and save that animals life. Sometimes animals tails or paws get shut in doors and they need casting or if it’s really bad they need amputation. Sometimes animals get ear infections (my Labrador gets them at least once a year) and the cost of vet visits and antibiotics can run in the hundreds of dollars.If you take care of an animal properly it does get VERY expensive. Depending on your age, maybe you could get a job, mowing lawns or baby sitting or washing your parents vehicles. Show them that you are mature and responsible and that you are willing to pay for your pets expenses yourself. Maybe save up $500 or so before you get the pet to be sure you can afford most expenses that come along and then make a plan to save up another $50 a month to help your parents with the bills. Don’t nag them about it. Just make a plan, show them you can be responsible and then ask again in 3 or 6 months or even a year.. Another good idea would be to write a paper telling them about what kind of dog you want. What sort of things it needs that are specific to it’s breed. Why you want it and how you plan to take care of it. A well researched and written paper as well as you taking the responsibility to come up with all or some of it’s expenses will surely win your parents over. – Don’t beg, or cry or whine though.. And if they say no just

Unfortunately, unless your Yorkie is a fully health tested, show champion who’s temperament is a testament to the breed, you will make nothing out of him. Not a penny. Although as a responsible owner, one wonders why anyone would want to “make money” out of a pet? he is a pet, not a breeding machine. Please have him fixed. There are enough greedy backyard breeders who could care less about their dogs and anything but making money.

I wish I knew. Just think, if people would adopt more dogs from shelters or rescues, breeders wouldn’t breed as many puppies. Not as many purebred puppies equals more shelter adoptions equals fewer homeless animals equals a better world. I think people buy purebred dogs as a status symbol so they can say, “I have a $700 pomeranian with papers. His parents were both best in class champions”. Yeah, great for you, but does the dog give a crap? He just wants to be a dog.If people want to show off their dogs, why can’t there be dog shows for mixed breeds? I don’t care about my dog’s markings or his bone structure – I care that he’s healthy, happy and I love him for his personality. If mixed breeds could be judged on personality, cuteness and overall “awww” factor, I’d be the first to sign up. My dog doesn’t give a rats *** if he wins a blue ribbon; he wants to run, chase squirrels, roll in dead squirrels, eat milk bones and cuddle. That’s the way it should be. Everyone should have the opportunity to show off their “baby”, no matter what their lineage. They’re ALL wonderful.I keep editing my answer because as I read some of the other answers, I get more and more upset. What do people want in a dog other than a good companion? Again, a dog is a dog no matter how much you want to pretend that they’re something else. If you want something to show off, get a freaking corvette or a Coach handbag. Yes, you may have to pay a fee to adopt a dog, but think about where that money goes! To save other homeless animals that ignorant people dump, don’t bother to spay or neuter and abuse! FYI – there are purebred dogs in shelters too! If you could selectively breed your children, would you do that too? Would you get rid of one of your children because they didn’t meet your standards? I hope not, but the more I read, the more I wonder….Sorry, this is a really sore topic for me.

Go to your local shelter or breed rescue and adopt one. Dogs in general though are NOT cheap, even if you do end up adopting one for a very low price…..you’ll need to have lots of money ready for vet visits and supplies to take care of your new pet. Plus, you’ll need to make sure you have the money in case there is a medical emergency. Accidents happen. Also, please spay/neuter your new pet! Good luck
