I just recently changed vets...not because of his prices...personality conflict with one of his staff members. I was quoted for Lillie, who is 1 yr and hasn't had a heat yet, up around 400.00. Sadie, who is 3yrs and had 3 heats, over 500.00.
I got a quote from my new vet today between 351.50 and 535.00...that is with an IV catheter 42.00 (optional) and wellness profile 72.00 (optional) and micro chipping 35.00 (optional) so if I decided to opt out of these three I would probably be around 200.00... I have met the vet (at a friends house) so when I bring the girls in to have their first health check with the new vet, I am going to discuss these optional costs with her. I don't plan on micro chipping but, I really feel the IV is a good thing,....I have to find out what a wellness profile is...I also have pet insurance which will pay 65.00 of each spay. I do expect Sadie to be higher where she is older...OH...and Lillie needs 1 tooth pulled...I don't know if she will charge for that...I would think where they are already out they would just pull it for no charge.
