Pet Expense Tracker Spreadsheet | Monthly Budget Planner for Dog & Cat Owners | Excel Google Sheets | Instant Download

This is a ready-to-use spreadsheet for Excel and Google Sheets. Open the file, enter your pet expenses, and every total, chart, and budget comparison updates automatically.

If you have ever wondered exactly how much you spend on your pets each month, you are not alone. Food on auto-pay, vet bills in batches, grooming scattered across the calendar, insurance premiums quietly ticking over. Most pet owners have no real picture of where the money goes until they try to add it all up from bank statements. By then it is too late to adjust.

The Pet Expense Tracker was built to give you that picture in minutes, not hours. One spreadsheet, six tabs, and every formula already wired together so you never have to build a budget from scratch. Here is what you get:

DASHBOARD — At-a-glance annual summary showing total spent, per-pet breakdown with percentage of total, category breakdown across 10 expense types, and a monthly spending trend chart. Every cell auto-calculates from the other tabs.

MONTHLY EXPENSES — Main data entry tab with 200 rows. Log each purchase with date, pet name, category, description, amount, and payment method. Ten categories: food, vet, grooming, toys, medication, insurance, supplies, training, boarding, and other.

BUDGET PLANNER — Set a monthly budget for each category and see actual spending pulled automatically from your expense entries. The difference column and percentage show exactly where you are over or under budget. Green means under budget. Red means over.

VET BILLS — A dedicated tab for veterinary expenses with room for clinic name, procedure, amount, insurance claimed, and auto-calculated out-of-pocket cost. Fifty rows ready to go.

INSURANCE CLAIMS — Track every claim with submission date, amount claimed, status, reimbursement received, and outstanding balance. Status flags colour-code automatically: green for approved, yellow for pending, red for denied, blue for submitted.

ANNUAL SUMMARY — See your full year at a glance with monthly totals broken down by category. Includes a monthly spending trend bar chart and a category breakdown pie chart. Grand totals sum automatically.
