Dog price in Kolkata
What every dog breed actually costs in Kolkata as of August 2026, from ₹6,000 to ₹85,000, with the monthly food cost for each. Real figures from a working breeder rather than a range copied off another site.
Short answer
Dog prices in Kolkata run from about ₹6,000 for an Indian Spitz to ₹85,000 for an English Bulldog, as of August 2026. Most family breeds sit between ₹12,000 and ₹30,000 — Labradors from ₹12,000, Pugs from ₹12,000, German Shepherds from ₹18,000, Golden Retrievers from ₹18,000. Feeding a medium dog costs a further ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 a month.
How to read these numbers
The table below is what we charge, not an industry average. Every figure is a range because within a single breed the price moves with lineage, whether the parents carry KCI registration, and whether they have been screened for the conditions that breed is prone to.
Three things are worth knowing before you compare us against a listing site.
A price with no breeder attached is not a price. Marketplace listings quote whatever attracts a call. Ask what is included, and whether the vaccination card exists.
The purchase price is the smaller number. A dog costs more to keep over fifteen years than it costs to buy. The monthly table below matters more to your budget than the one-off figure does.
Very low prices have a reason. Sometimes an honest one — a slightly older puppy, or a litter where the pedigree does not qualify. Often not. Ask.
Where the money goes after you buy
Food is the bulk of it. A Labrador eats roughly twice what a Pug does, and the gap widens as they grow. Add annual vaccination, quarterly deworming, and the municipal licence your ward office issues.
For a fuller breakdown of what drives the purchase price itself, our puppy price guide goes into the reasoning behind the ranges.

Questions people ask
What is the cheapest dog breed in Kolkata?
The Indian Spitz, from around ₹6,000. Pomeranians start near ₹8,000. Both are small, hardy and well suited to a flat, which is why they stay the most common first dogs in the city.
Why do prices for the same breed vary so much?
Lineage, and whether the parents are KCI-registered and health-screened. A pet-quality Labrador and a show-quality one are the same breed but not the same dog on paper. Each breed page sets out its three tiers and what separates them.
Does the price include vaccination and delivery?
Vaccination and deworming are included, with a card showing dates and batch numbers. Delivery is free across Kolkata and its suburbs, ₹1,000 elsewhere in West Bengal, and ₹1,500–₹2,000 further afield.
What does a dog cost to keep each month in Kolkata?
Budget ₹1,500–₹3,000 a month for a medium breed, mostly food, plus roughly ₹2,000 a year for vaccination and about ₹1,000 a year for deworming. Large breeds run closer to ₹3,000–₹5,000 a month.
Are cheaper puppies a bad sign?
Not automatically, but a price well below the market rate for that breed usually means one of three things: the puppy is younger than eight weeks, the vaccination is incomplete, or the pedigree is not what is claimed. Ask which, and ask to see the mother.
Do you negotiate on price?
The figure quoted is the figure. What we will do instead is tell you honestly if a cheaper breed suits your home better than the one you asked about — that saves more money than haggling does.
