Per-litter cost tracking
Assign expenses to a specific litter so you know the real production cost before puppies are priced. Most breeders underestimate costs because vet bills, whelping supplies, and food are tracked separately — or not at all. KennelBoss puts them in one number.
Expense categories
Organize costs by type — vet, food, supplies, transport, registration — for accurate reporting at tax time. Categorized expenses make Schedule F filing straightforward and give you a clear view of where your money actually goes each breeding season.
Cost-per-puppy report
Divide total litter costs by puppy count and see your actual margin on every sale. If your litter cost $1,800 to produce and you have six puppies, your floor is $300 per puppy before your time and stud fee. Know this number before you set your price.
From first vet bill to cost-per-puppy.
Four steps to knowing your true production cost before the first puppy is priced.
- 01
Log an expense — amount, category, date
Enter expenses as they happen — from the vet office, the feed store, or after a whelping supply run. Thirty seconds per entry.
- 02
Tag it to a litter or specific dog
Assign the expense to the right litter or adult dog. A vet bill for the dam goes on the litter; food for your breeding program goes on operating expenses.
- 03
View running cost total per litter
Your litter's expense total updates in real time. Check it anytime to see what you've spent so far before setting final pricing.
- 04
See cost-per-puppy when the litter is ready to sell
KennelBoss calculates cost-per-puppy automatically when you enter the final litter count. Know your floor before you publish prices.
Common questions
How do I find out what a litter actually cost?
Tag each expense to a litter or a dog as you log it. The running total is there while the litter is growing, not assembled in a spreadsheet the week you price the puppies.
Do I have to re-enter the same bills every month?
No. Mark an expense recurring and KennelBoss enters each cycle's copy for you — food, utilities, the things that do not change — so the figures stay complete without you remembering.
Can I see what a puppy cost me, not just the litter?
Yes. The litter's costs divide across its puppies, so you price from what the litter actually cost rather than from what last year felt like.
Does it handle costs that are not about one litter?
Yes — a dog's own vet bill, kennel supplies, anything applied to a specific animal or to the kennel generally. Categories keep them separate when you look at profit.
