What it really costs in Canada — and why
Owning a English Springer Spaniel in Canada works out roughly 7% cheaper than the United States over a lifetime (C$39,555 versus about $31,200 equivalent). The driver is Canada's local price level: food sits at index 0.95 and vet/grooming services at index 0.95 (1.00 = US baseline). The single biggest yearly line is food at about C$915. A English Springer Spaniel is a medium breed eating ~3.2 cups a day, so feeding alone runs about C$915 a year here. Across its 13-year average lifespan those annual costs compound into the C$39,555 lifetime total, and with a functioning pet-insurance market you can cap large vet bills for around C$685/yr.
