I used to purchase medication from my vet until I realized they were overcharging me 50%.

After doing the math, that's almost $1,000 a year on Aki's medication alone.

So I built an expense tracker to stay on top of it and created a template for you. 🎁

You might remember my mini-series on πŸ”‘ How To Diagnose & Treat Allergies.

After going through that entire process with Aki, I learned he has environmental allergies and will need Apoquel for life.

At almost $5 a day, it adds up fast.

To make it even worse, I found out my vet was charging a 50% markup, which would've cost me almost an extra $1,000 a year.

So naturally, I started tracking every purchase.

What started as a spreadsheet for Aki's medication turned into a full expense tracker for everything.

Already tracking expenses elsewhere?

Upload this template to your favorite AI tool and ask it to reformat your data.

3️⃣ Dashboard

See your spending totals and charts, filtered by dog, year, or month.

Whether you have one dog or three, this tracker gives you a clear picture of where your money's going so you can catch overcharges before they add up.

TL;DR: Vets can mark up medication by almost 50%. After discovering I was on track to overpaying $1,000/year on Aki's medication, I built a Dog Expense Tracker to stay on top of it.
