Dog companions: what's your monthly budget and cost breakdown for taking care of your furry friend?

I am once again mulling the notion of adopting a doggo. (Foster first, of course.) But my budget isn't what it was in my tech job years so I need to be sensible about costs.

What does your monthly doggo-care budget look like? Assume a single, medium-sized, reasonably healthy dog that is not a Problem Breed in terms of healthcare.

I'm thinking items like:

* Food (and what kind of food? Kibble? Canned? Raw diet?)
* Vet bills / insurance
* Toys / chews
* Training (mostly an upfront cost, I'd imagine, especially for us who are new to dog stewardship)
* Lodging, in case I am going out of town and can't feasibly take doggo with me
* Licensing
* .... what else....?

I don't care where you live :-) I'll do a bit of a conversion myself, God willing, if you live in the US for example.
