I live in Lebanon, and owning pets over here is basically considered a luxury. Everything is so overpriced, it’s insane.
I use Tidy Cats as litter (6 Kg lasts about 1.5 months), which costs about 13$.
I use Royal Canin dry kitten food (lasts 28 days) and that’s a whopping 50$ over here.
I also administer Revolution (anti fleas, ear mites, etc...) on a monthly basis, that’s about 16.5$ per month (a pack of 3 is 50$).
I give him a deworming pill every 3 months which costs about 5$.
I don’t remember how much his vaccines cost (1 every 6 months and 1 yearly).
There are also other costs (poop bags, tear stain remover, catnip, vitamin paste, ear care liquid, etc...) which last a long time so the cost is negligible.
I’d say all in all, it costs me about 100$ monthly for 1 kitten. If I were giving him wet food instead, it would easily be triple (or more!).
The average salary for an engineer with 3-5 years of experience is 2,000$ monthly, so you can see how that is a problem for most families.
