How much has my pet cost this year?
Open Spending to see the year's total, by pet, by category and by month. It adds up the cost you type when you log a visit, a vaccine, a deworming, an exam or test, a medicine, a bath or a grooming.
Updated October 21, 2026
- On Home, tap Spending in Quick actions. For one pet, open the pet, tap ⋯ and pick Spending.
- Pick a pet in Show and a year in Year.
- Tap a month to see its total.
Do I need Plus for the spending report?
Yes. The spending report is part of VetVitae Plus. Adding a cost to an entry stays free, so your costs are kept either way.
Without Plus, Spending shows a sample with The spending report is part of Plus and a button to the Plus page. Not now hides the card.
What happens to the report when Plus ends?
Nothing is deleted. The costs stay on each entry, and Spending shows the Plus card again until Plus is back.
Where do I add a cost?
The visit, vaccine, deworming, exam, test, medicine, bath, grooming and hygiene forms have a Cost field. It's optional, and it uses the currency in Settings.
What counts in the total?
Entries that happened: given, done, waiting for a result, or a medicine in progress. Planned, cancelled and skipped ones don't count, since nothing was paid. Each entry counts in the month of its date, and a medicine counts once, in the month it started.
What if I log the same bath for several pets?
When you pick other pets in Also for, How to count it shows under the cost. Same for each gives every pet's entry the cost you type: the field reads Cost for each pet, with a line like "Saved on 3 pets, each with this cost. R$ 450 in all." Split the cost turns the field into Total cost and divides it between the pets, like "Split between 3 pets: R$ 50 each."
What do I see for one pet?
The same total, by category and by month, plus Entries with a cost, newest first. Tap one to open it.
What to know
- Only people who share your pet see its spending. Costs never show on the vet link, the tag page or the emergency card.
- A pet you no longer share isn't counted. A remembered pet shows in the years it had costs.
- Food has no cost field, so the total isn't everything you spent on your pet.
- Amounts aren't converted. A cost is a plain number, shown in your currency.
Questions
Why does Spending say some entries have no cost?
It counts that year's entries without a cost, so you know the total leaves them out. Tap Add costs to fill them in on one screen: type what you paid and tap Save, or tap Was free if it was included. Edit changes one you just saved.
What if one box of medicine was for two pets?
On Costs to add, the same thing logged on the same day for several pets shows as one row, marked Shared. Pick Split the cost to divide what you paid between them, or Same for each when each pet cost that amount.
Can I see last year?
Yes. Year lists every year with at least one cost. Picking another pet keeps the year, so a pet without costs that year shows No entries with a cost.
Can a co-owner see what I spent?
Yes. Anyone who shares your pet already sees each entry's cost, so they see the same totals.
Can I download the costs?
Yes. The ZIP from Export has an entries.csv file with every entry's cost.
