What it really costs in Germany — and why
Owning a Welsh Springer Spaniel in Germany works out roughly 22% cheaper than the United States over a lifetime (€23,085 versus about $32,300 equivalent). The driver is Germany's local price level: food sits at index 0.9 and vet/grooming services at index 0.75 (1.00 = US baseline). The single biggest yearly line is food at about €590. A Welsh Springer Spaniel is a medium breed eating ~3.2 cups a day, so feeding alone runs about €590 a year here. Across its 13.5-year average lifespan those annual costs compound into the €23,085 lifetime total, and with a functioning pet-insurance market you can cap large vet bills for around €310/yr.
