It's a lot harder to find a rental if you have an animal (especially a dog)

You can't just pick up and leave for the weekend because you need to find a kennel or petsitter.

Vet bills. If you're going to own a pet, you must be responsible enough to be willing to shell out money to the vet when they're ill or even just need things like vaccines. Within the past 5 years, we've spent a staggering amount of money on vet services (2 torn ACLs on our terrier mix, 5 operations to remover bladder stones from our Schnauzer, various x-rays, special dogfood...)
