OK, Vitamins I actually have a price on, I hadn't been sure if he would give them to him or not so I hadn't included them. I'll add them in. I'll go with the Purina Little Bites price on the Dog Chow, it's aobut right for generic dog chow in that size range.
Yeah, Dief's donut budget has to be substantial...although Fraser's not usually the one buying him those.
Actually, if I were Fraser, once I figured out that Dief was subsisting on sweets begged from half the citizens of Chicago, I'd stop buying him Milk Bones. And probably cut back on the kibble, or at least switch to diet. (Which would just encourage Dief to sneak more treats...oh, vicious cycle...)
Incidentally, in "Victoria's Secret" we see that Fraser sometimes shares his food with Dief. If he does that often, that might cut back the dog food budget.

I'm leaving the food budget where it is. I'm sure there are weeks where Dief gets into the kibble and gorges. And if you figure it's over by a bag or two for the nights Dief doesn't eat kibble, you can roll that into grocery expenses. This is just a baseline for budget planning.
As far as chews go, knowing both Fraser and Dief himself, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd made friends with a local butcher who let them have nice big raw beef knucklebones for free. Maybe even certain entrails, and possibly chicken or turkey necks, if there isn't enough market to sell them; dogs can eat these raw. (They're a standard ingredient in a BARF or bones-and-raw-food diet.) Just a thought.
And yes, we have seen Fraser cook for Dief sometimes, which could cut down on the kibble bill but would increase the grocery budget, so that might be break even.
Hm. I'll have to look into that. Although given the age and size of my dog, probably not worth it. I would just wind up with yet more half chewed bones and things in my bed...

Bet he'd never tell Ray about that.

It's $12 for a variety pack of rawhides.
For 1998? Call it $10. Tucker goes through a pack every two months. Tucker weigs 15 lbs.
Realistically, maybe two packs a month?
That's more like $20 a month for assorted chewy toys and things.

Knowing Tucker? Most assuredly. But he'd probably love you with all his doggy heart, right until he vomitted in your new sandals.
