[blparent] Guide dog questions

[Jodie and Kahlan]

I got all three of my dogs, and am getting my fourth, from The Seeing 
Eye. I didn't have Kahlan when I had my other three, so this will be 
anew experience for me. I love TSE and there's really nothing I don't 
like. I have heard of Fidelco, but don't know anything about it, so 
can't give you any info. I've had two golden retrievers and a black 
lab. Depending on how much your dog food of choice costs and where you 
get it, you could spend anywhere from around eighteeen to fifty dollars 
for dog food, in my experience. Barring any unforeseen problems, you'll 
probably only have to take the dog to the vet once a year for shots and 
a physical, and you do need to keep up to date on heart worm and flee 
prevention, which I always had to refill every six months. You can get 
fleee prevention from a store, but heart worm needs to be obtained from 
your vet. I can't give you an accurate vet estimation because it 
depends on where you take the dog, how much he or she charges and 
whether or not they offer discounts for service animals. Hope this helps.
