What it really costs in Canada — and why
Owning a Jagdterrier in Canada works out roughly 7% cheaper than the United States over a lifetime (C$26,215 versus about $20,700 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 routine vet at about C$580. A Jagdterrier is a small breed eating ~1.7 cups a day, so feeding alone runs about C$490 a year here. Across its 11-year average lifespan those annual costs compound into the C$26,215 lifetime total, and with a functioning pet-insurance market you can cap large vet bills for around C$465/yr.
