I did call around a while ago when I got Zaylee's teeth done. The other vets ran around $35-40 for anesthesia and approx $5 a tooth. Even though they are even closer (10 min instead of 1/2 hour - our regular vet is 45 min away!) I would rather go to the vet my regular one wants us to go to. Perhaps it's just a lot cheaper for this sort of thing around us. I'm not sure how much a fix would cost though (I think females are around $65 - so that would be 65 for the spay and $35 for the anesthesia) .....
Not to get off track, but I must say that my regular vet is the bomb! I took in four adults and one puppy...four heartworm test and checkups, one regular puppy checkup, one urine test and 6 months heartworm supply for four dogs for $165! They never even charge a walk-in fee! I have spent a LONG time finding a vet that I trust and to get such a great price on everything is such an added bonus! We do drive and hour an half all together to get there and back, but it's so worth it! I think that perhaps we also get a deal since I have went there so long, we have a lot of dogs and my step-mom brings her dog there too. The vet remembers everything...I thought to be sneaky and looked in her folder to see if she wrote down things like the dogs dislikes or likes..not there...she remembers it all! Now that I am writing all this I think I am going to send her a present from my babies!! |
Wow, I want your vet!!! It would be a really long trip to get there though, you are so lucky to have such a great vet!! I have one that I have been using for years and I have to drive 50 minutes to get there, I like them, they even let you charge for emergencies or unexpected surgeries, and they are relatively cheaper than alot of vets. The only thing is they are not a big business, they are the only vet in a very small down and they don't do alot of the care like a bigger one, you can't even get a ultrasound for a dog and they don't know much about breeding, don't have the big equipment such as Catscans MRI and other stuff. They do extract teeth and I think it is around the same price as yours. I guess I will have to have two vets one for minor and simple procedures and another for the bigger and difficult procedures. So I guess I will have to start searching for another vet, too bad yours is too far away
