Hi Everyone:
I was wondering what the cost were for spaying / neutering for your Yorkie. I know that the anesthesia is more expensive and that because they are so small more-than-average blood work needs to be done on them. I'm also planning on microchipping and having any baby teeth pulled. If anyone has gotten all or part of this done and wouldn't mind sharing the cost estimate and (if it's not too personal) their location (I feel like San Francisco is a bit expensive), I'd really appreciate it.
I'm asking this info. because even though I don't have a puppy yet, I want to budget and be aware of all of the extra first year costs: shots, spay/neuter, puppy classes, basic obedience, toys, food, etc. While I'm on the topic, does anyone have pet insurance and if so, is it worth it?
Your advice and experiences are really appreciated! Thanks!!
