How much did it cost to neuter/spay your yorkie?

[SweetCuteness]

It isn't going to cost me anything to get Ferdinand fixed. I have him on Petsmart's (Banfield Hospital) puppy wellness plan. It's $20 a month and covers all bloodwork, neutering, all immunizations, all appointments are free, deworming, 3 yearly stool samples, heartworm tests, plus I get 15% off all things that aren't covered. YTD I've saved approx $400 and I haven't gotten him neutered yet.

Chloe cost me $268.00 but she had to have two bilateral hernias fixed also! Plus the pre-op bloodwork. But for a normal spaying, the vet charges $80.00 with the pre-op bloodwork is a little extra I think 20-30 dollars maybe!

I got my 3 month old female shih tzu from the spca. She cost $185, that basically covers the surgery and her first puppy shot. Also, the spca here, has periodic specials where they will spay/neuter for something like $50. I'd check your local spca for a bargain.

There is a certificate from the Humane Society called Friends of Animals. You can buy this certificate for around $50 depending if you have a cat or dog, male or female, and that covers the spay/neuter. You have to pay for pre screening if you chose that option, and pain pills if they have that option. It's well worth it if they have that in your area.

I got my Yorkie from a so called reputable show/breeder at 7 months in Sept. He had pre-blood work and individual chemistry, before castration which was $112.50. In addition to the castration, 21 baby teeth extracted,"chin mass removal" (which the breeder failed to mention), lab biopsy of chin mass removal, overnight stay, and pain meds, for a total of $731.08. The grand total with lab work was $843.58. The chin mass removal and biopsy were more then the castration ($238.00). The bad news was the breeder. The good news for the Yorkie was that I bought him. The good news for me, ???, jury still out. He's aggressive towards other dogs (breeder failed to mention before I bought him but knew this). We have a behavoir/vet specialist working with him. He attacked my other little dog. I won't even list his surgery costs to repair a ripped throat or my damaged thumb removing him from the other dog's (currently 2lbs. 9 oz. of trauma) jugular.

I checked with the SPCA & you have to make below a certain minimum income. We don't qualify for that. My Sammy is now a year old. Not sure if we will save the money and get him neutered soon or just pass. He is doing o.k. After reading all these posts, seems like there are quite a few vets out that that don't charge an arm and leg. Wish my vet was more reasonable, I do like them after all. It just seems like we can't leave there without forking out $100 everytime.

go to local animal shelter/human society they charge neutering/spaying by the weight of animal, my yorkie boy only cost $95

[life4life]

can't remember if I responded to this thread yet. We paid $120 for spayed and updated shots. She didn't need any baby teeth removed. We thought that was so cheap so we tipped her $20. She did a fabulous job on the cut. Jasmin healed nicely and now we can't even see the cut scar.

BEST ADVISE, humane societies encourager's spaying and neutering, they make it affordable so ppl will have it done. I can't tell you what the cost is, I adopted my lil boy 3 months ago, he is 2 y/o, his medical folder that prev. sent with him when he was surrendered showed the ASPCA (my boy came NYC) performed it. so he was neutered when I got him.

Sell the DH and neuter your lil boy (lol)

[Sukey]

for a neuter my vet charges $325 (spay is $375)......the clinics and SPCA around here charge $90-$141 for a neuter......so Id suggest looking around a bit

[chachi]

I had my yorkies neutered/spayed at the vet but had all my cats spayed at a low cost clinic for $35 each. The only thing i didnt like is they didnt give pain meds and one of my cats had alot of pain

This thread is almost 8 years old, so I hope that pup was neutered along time ago.

It's interesting to see the cost back then, though.

Man, am I glad the prices have come down. My vet is going to charge us $90 to spay Ripley in April.
