My Tobi has to have 4 canine puppy teeth taken out because they're growing in parallel to his puppy teeth. He's also right around that age to be neutered, so I took him to the vet this morning. Well, I expected it to be rather pricey, BUT, I was SHOCKED at how much the vet was looking to charge. Here is the estimate the vet gave after the $48.50 regular exam fee:
Neuter: $181.90
1 Tooth Extraction: $123.91/per tooth
Pre & Post Operative Hospital Care: $76.53
Extended General Anesthetic for Dental Treatment: $277.30
IV Fluids: $154.65
*optional* Blood Test: $189.63

So, overall the total for all 4 canine puppy teeth to be taken out and neutering will cost close to $1200.00 Canadian. Tobi would only be there for a few hours, so no over night stay will be required. So, I already know that this is really expensive, but I just wanted to know what your experience is with these procedures...b/c I'm feeling a little ripped off.

Wow that is absolutely rediculous! I'm a vet student so I'm not normally one to complain about vet prices because I think vets deserve what they make, but prices like these really are rediculous. I can understand $181.00 for the neuter, if that includes anaesthesia and all...but to charge $181.00 plus $76 plus $277 plus 154.65 is CRAZY!! These are seriously the highest prices I have EVER seen, and I have seen some high ones that I thought were too high. One vet here told me $350 to spay Lacy and I thought that was too much - she was spayed at another vet for a little over $100. I think $200 or under is reasonable for a normal spay. What I think is really crazy about these prices is the cost to pull a tooth! Who charges over $100 per tooth? CRAZY.. I would definitely start looking around at other vets
