22a. Does owning a Mastiff Cost a lot?

A Mastiff costs more to maintain than smaller breeds due to
its large size and weight. Larger crates cost more. More and

anesthesia are prescribed based on weight, so these cost
more. A Mastiff on a 'chewing binge' can cause much more
damage in a shorter time than smaller breeds.
