It all depends on where you live in the city as to what the prices that are charged. Some of the charges that you have listed I would consider high or my vet would not charge. The Heartguard is not what I use but even that seems high. If I remember correctly all my puppy visits were under $100 and I have never been precharged for anything.
New client fee is also something that I was not charged either. Just an office visit which I think is around $35. |
I actually live in the NW suburbs, with these prices I wish I was still in the city--after being in the NW burbs for a year now, I feel like the cost of living here is actually more than it was when I lived in Hyde Park 7 miles from downtown Chicago.
I've been researching vet's online all day and found one in Stone Park that is very low cost--I called and asked a few questions, and there won't be a new client fee!!! lol I added up what my total would be for the next boost, then rabies a few weeks later, then neuter, and mircochip and is should only be around $100-150 for everything--so I am definitely going there to check their facilities out... I wish I found them sooner
