Troy was about 4 pounds and he had two dentals in his short life and I had no issues , so my concern about Emma not taking the drug well etc are about 30% where cost was more like 70%. I think bc when I lived in GA vetinary costs are so much more affordable I have major sticker shock when my vet gives a quote on care. I even had the option in GA to go to low cost centers and it seems that this area has little to none of that option. |
Welcome to the DC area!
LOL.
I know MD has a few low cost clinics. Spay Now! is one -- there is one in Laurel and on the Eastern Shore. Jackson was neutered there and they've gotten even better since then. I quite like them as far as "low cost clinics" go. They seem to take diligent care. They require pre-op bloodwork etc. My dads dogs go there and we've always had great service.
Jackson is getting pre-op bloodwork on Tuesday and then I'm scheduling a dental with our regular vet. I'm predicting it to cost in the vicinity of $400.
