According to a Pet Parent survey by Rover, 81% of people planned to spend $500-$2000 on their first Goldendoodle puppy. Up to 62% found those initial costs were about accurate for how much they paid.  But another 32% indicated the initial expenditure for a puppy was substantially greater. Pet parents claimed they spent $50-$149 per month on Goldendoodle toys, food, and pet care. Another 21% reported they spent more than $150 per month.  On the high end, the initial cost plus monthly expenses, the first year with a Goldendoodle is around $3,800.
