| Spade ? I'm planning on spading my little girl towards the end of this month. I called a vet close to where I live and they charge $185 for the surgery. Is that an average price? |

| LOL...this got to be a joke right ???!!! In Scotland a spade is for digging the garden....or whacking the earth with - I take it you don't mean spading your poor wee Yorkie, but speying it ? Over here the surgery is £130-£140 which would be double in your money - $260-280 so your price sounds good to me ! I just got my Tammy done the day before yesterday.

| I don't know because I've never had one spayed. But yes, you spay or have spayed, not spade or have spaded. Not to worry, we know what you mean. Sounds like you have a good price though! Good luck to you and your baby!! |

| I checked around here at a few of the vets and they charge between $265- $300. So I would say that is a good price....How old is your lil one...

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Remind me never to move to Florida. It cost anywhere from $50 - $90 here! And that's WITH pain meds!

| Wow - I can't believe most of you had to pay that for a spay! Almost every where I have checked around here was $100-$150 with the exception of one place that quoted me $350 (but they are really expensive for everything they do). I've always thought $150ish was about average...but $300+ just makes me realize why so many people don't spay and neuter their pets

Yorkie Yakker | spay Did anyone ever consider the neuter and spay clinic? I am facing similar issues here. I have two female puppies who are both older than 4 months now. The vet's estimate of the spaying cost, along with the options and the complimentary services is around $400 dollars each. Then my friend gave me the information about the spay clinic. Of course, the clinic didn't offer the optional presurgery blood test (for anesthesia administration) and other services like the vet had proposed. Nevertheless, the cost is lower than 100 bucks for each dog. I assume they still use pain relief and iv there for the surgery. any suggestions, experienced yorkie owners? .... Am I maltreating the dogs if I send them to be spayed at the spay and neuter clinic?

| No, using a clinic is not maltreating your baby. Clinics are under the same laws as vets, they are usually just non for profit organizations. Being a responsible owner does not have to coast you an arm and leg!!

Yorkie Yakker | spay cost I am glad that you identify with my feelings and worries. I do want to save the cost while giving my yorkies the best care I can possibly afford. Do you know ... if it is safe to skip the pre-anesthesia blood work if I bring my puppies to the spay clinic, ... some of those options that the vet offered seem to be important (like microchip insertion, help extract teeth if necessary, heartworm test, pull out hairs from ears, etc.) Are there something important/critical that my puppies will miss out if they are sent to the spay clinic instead of the vet?
