I'm looking to get Oakley neutered within the next couple of months and have called my vet's office to get a general idea on price to include neuter fee along with microchip and to pull any baby teeth that needs pulling.
The neuter fee (including sedation, etc.) is $200, microchip $40 and around $10.00 per tooth to be pulled. As of right now, I only see one possibly double tooth (baby & adult) so my total cost would be around say $250.00.
While talking with a co-worker, she mentioned she had her cats (5) fixed at the local SPCA and gave me the info. I went online and the cost to neuter is much, much less.
What would your choice be - vet or SPCA?
I'm not looking to get bashed here, just some helpful information.
Thanks! |
When I look at all the areas in my life I could cut costs if I needed to save a bit, my pup isn't one of those areas.
There's a reason (many reasons actually) that I chose the vet ZoE has. I trusted him to do everything possible within his means to make sure that ZoE came through her surgery successfully. I don't know that you can put a price on that. But if you save a $100, that's just a couple of dinners eating out. I'd rather go without that, than have potentially lesser quality care for ZoE.
I have a friend that lives in the country & has dogs, horses, goats, rabbits, and a ton of barn cats that live in/around her various barns. She rounds up the barn cats and takes a few at a time to a low cost clinic that does spay/neuter & shots. She doesn't want to lose a barn cat, but if she did, she wouldn't be devasted, as they aren't her pets.
