| Vet Charges for removing dew claws and docking tails A friend of mine was just charged $200 by a vet in AZ to dock the tails and remove the dew claws on two puppies. This seems a little outrageous to me and I was curious to see what vets were charging people for this? |

| If it was that cheap around here I may rethink doing it myself. It's just not my favorite thing to do. I usually paid about $150. for 4 puppies.

That is my thoughts exactly..... If I were having to pay what you guys are paying I would certainly add upon my repertoire of skills I do have a very good relationship with my vet and have been a client forever, so I cannot attest to the fact that everyone pays that rate. $20.00 a puppy is quite steep..... as he also gives each puppy a full exam as well... I guess I need to thank him on my next visit! BTW, I don't know if you read the thread I started, but I am looking for a new female... I have two rotating out of our kennel at the end of the year. I am not finding anything locally I would want to place in my kennel.....so off I go to parts unknown.... If you know of any, would you give me a heads up.... | |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | That does seem expensive. I think mine was around 90.00 for six puppies to get tails and dew claws done.

| WOW..that's crazy... I had my one single pup done at 3 day and it was 10.00 total for the tail and dewclaws. It if was that high here, I think I'd be learning to do it myself. Last edited by yorkiegirl2; 09-29-2008 at 03:39 PM. |

| got another shocker for you. The vet in Tucson Quoted $2000 for a c-section. Anybody know a good vet in the Phoenix / Mesa area who's prices won't give you a heart attack? |
