$431.13??!!! Is it me, or is $431.13 a lot to pay for spaying Cali? I know it needs to be done and all, but geez:eek: :eek: .........I just don't understand why it costs so much? :confused: I take her to Banfield, I'm wondering if they are higher, or can I expect to pay this pretty much anywhere? I mean, if I gotta, then I gotta,:thumbdown but........geez! |
To get my girl spayed it was $66.00 and that included a shot that he gave her. Sounds like alot to me, but I guess it depends on where you live... |
To me thats ALOT :eek: . I took Daisy to my vet and the bill was just about 150. with having baby teeth removed. I would check around. |
Seems real high to me I paid $150 and that included the removal of some teeth |
WOW, that's too much . . . I paid less than $200 and it included some blood work and tooth extraction. |
Is all your getting done is the spay?? My spay was $65, but I got some baby teeth pulled too, but my bill was still under $400 is was $240.. Yes, IMO that is waaaaaaaaaaay to high just for a spay.. |
Wow, that's a lot of money! :eek: |
My 1st appointment when Rhapsody got home was with Banfield. They charged me $150.00 for 2nd round of shots, and to examine her. Needless to say, I felt this was ridiculous!! The vet we use now is where I took Tiger for the 1st time, he charged me $30.00 for his 3rd round of shots, and he examined him for his health check (to make sure he was healthy since I'd just gotten him from his breeder). Huge difference, now I know we got lucky with our vet, but when I called around Banfield was hands down the most expensive, and I mean way out of the ballpark. Call around!!!!! Banfield really pushes their doggie insurance, I think this might be why they are so expensive. Good Luck! |
I thought NY was was high! That's nuts! |
Well, I was told that they charge an extra $44 because she is over 6 months (she just turned 6 months yesterday btw), then I was told she has to have her 6 month heartworm, and then ofcourse the $35 office visit. Ridiculous to me. I waited this long because she is so small. 3 1/2 pounds, I thought I was doing her a favor (she hasn't gone into heat yet) by waiting until she can handle the medication better but this is crazy. I can tell you that I do not want to pay that if I don't have to. If anyone knows of a reputable vet in the Atlanta GA area, please let me know. I have no problems with Banfield doctors, but the prices......I've had enough. |

Looks like I'm shopping around for a good vet with not as much overhead. Maybe that will make the difference. |
My BOY to get neutered was $350 from my vet. I can get coupons here where I can get my other one done for $56. I chose to get my boy done at my vet bc he had a heart murmur at the time and she was nervous about him and anesthia, so was I, so I paid more! My other boy has no health issues so he won't be nearly as costly. |
WOW !!!!! We only paid 95.00........Maybe you need to find a new vet !!!!!! That is awful expensive. Blessings |
I read more of this post... I think my vet must be outrageous too... I have 2 boys and Ive gone to other vets in the past and they are all roughly the same around here. For their 1 year shots and check up (1/2 hr appointment) and antibiotics it was $385. For each check up they get its minimum of $70 but it does seem like they always need something when I go... heartworm stuff, or antibiotics, or shots or soemthing... its never less than $150 when I go to the vet! :( |

You guys are all killing me!! Do you know that I paid $620 yesterday for Truffles spay?!?!? I'm in California but what a difference! Vixxen and Lexxi were around $400 each almost 3 years ago. I paid "extra" for a "safer" anesthetic that is easier for them to come out of (which I think is bull that they charge for this), plus blood work, microchip, 2 meds to go home with, the collar which I won't use and the 10 teeth pulled @ $10 per tooth. Crazy huh? But I knew she was in good hands and did want her regular vet to do it and not some other clinic.... So you guys all made out good in my eyes ;) |
I am with LoveMyGirlz! Big bucks at the vet where I live. I paid over $500 for JoJo's neuter, 4 teeth pulled and a microchip. Gucci is having 4 teeth pulled and it will be over $300 but that was after his check-up of $182 which included pre-op blood work. I felt a little sickish afterwards! But I love my vet and the office is the cleanest I have ever seen and they are so attentive I can't imagine switching. I started off some place else and although they were cheaper we did not have a good experience. |

my vet charges $50 to have a pet microchipped. and that includes the activation fee. |
Ok, I paid that much also, BUT, Percy also had seven teeth pulled, and that price included everything, hearworm, neuter, pain meds, antibiotics, follow up, and then teeth. If it was just the neuter it would have been around $150. And yes, I think I overpaid. |
Prices down here are like that too! Most places charge over $50 just to see the vet, not including any tests at all. They wanted to charge $400 for my mom's male to be neutered(not including taking out puppy teeth) which is MUCH less invasive than a spay. Those prices are ridiculous in my opinion. Maybe there's a city nearby that has good vets with cheaper prices. Miko's neuter was done when we lived somewhere else, so his was around $100 including gas anesthesia, pre-op bloodwork, etc., I believe. And Emma was spayed before I got her, but I guarantee they didn't pay that much for it. |

Maybe there wouldn't be so many pets in shelters being euthenized if the prices for spay and neutering were lower. Many people cannot affort that. I had two of my dogs neutered about 6 years ago for 60 each. I had a third done 2 years later after my vet moved to a much larger building and paid 170.00. Crazy |
Just had Kenzi and Jill spayed and Jack's teeth cleaned. Here's my bill: Jack ~ $256 ~ teeth cleaning Jilly ~ $422 ~ spaying, 1 extraction, cleaning and Distemper/Parvo shot Kenzi ~ $384 ~ spaying, 2 extractions, cleaning Oh, and they threw in the "complimentary nail trim". Whoopie!!! Total bill ~ $1062.00 I called around to get quotes from two other vets in town and they were comparable. Even called our state vet teaching hospital and they were more expensive for the teeth cleaning and slightly cheaper on the spaying. But with an hour and half drive it was not worth it. |
OMG! Thats ridiculous! |
I don't know of any Vet. that would have the nerve to charge that much. YOu don't need to get her a heartworm shot and age has nothing to do with the price. Please call your local shelter and ask where you can find a low cost spay neuter clinic, or maybe they will even do it for you and it's generally around 65 to 80 dollars tops. I'd be finding me another Vet. too. |
