These 18 Dogs Are Perfect for Seniors on a Budget (Cheap to Keep, Easy to Love)

Retirement is a wonderful time to welcome a dog, but on a fixed income every dollar counts. The breeds in this countdown are cheap to feed, easy to groom at home, calm indoors and happy with a gentle stroll. We ranked 18 breeds for seniors on a budget on four things: low energy, affection, easy grooming and adaptability, using the American Kennel Club's breed trait ratings, plus what each breed really costs to keep. Every breed comes with a fresh fun fact, money-saving care tips and who it suits best, plus the breeds that missed out because of vet or groomer bills. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Cheap to keep, easy to love 00:55 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 03:05 Basset Hound 05:09 Pug 07:07 Scottish Terrier 09:08 Pomeranian 11:06 Dachshund 13:01 Pekingese 14:55 Havanese 16:56 Boston Terrier 18:47 Border Terrier 20:38 Lhasa Apso 22:34 Greyhound 24:35 Japanese Chin 26:25 Whippet 28:17 Chinese Crested 30:16 Chihuahua 32:05 Tibetan Spaniel 33:54 Italian Greyhound 36:14 Missed the list & cheapest option 💬 Which little companion would you choose?
