What it really costs in United States — and why
Owning a Norwich Terrier in United States works out roughly 1% about the same as the United States over a lifetime ($21,490 versus about $21,700 equivalent). The driver is United States's local price level: food sits at index 1.0 and vet/grooming services at index 1.0 (1.00 = US baseline). The single biggest yearly line is routine vet at about $450. A Norwich Terrier is a small breed eating ~1.2 cups a day, so feeding alone runs about $265 a year here. Across its 13.5-year average lifespan those annual costs compound into the $21,490 lifetime total, and with a functioning pet-insurance market you can cap large vet bills for around $380/yr.
