You moved to another town just to spite your vet???

It cost me $327.00 for spay, teeth cleaning, 1 tooth ex., toenails cliped, medcine, over nite stay, blood work up,and follow up visit
I not sure what cost what. But I thought that was good
and all is well

patty58 · 08-28-2007, 06:07 PM

the sad thing is, I had used that vet ever since she opened about20 years ago. Her vet practice has grown so much that we very rarely saw the same vet anymore. The problem is.....I don't know a vet that I trust. I went to the one in the small town where we live but how do I know she will know how to treat my baby. I am so scared of the anesthesia.

Izzy Princess · 08-28-2007, 06:10 PM

Well I paid a good buck to get Izzy spayed:

$428.50 and that included the Home Again Micro Chip, all the preanesthetic work, fluids, pain control, one night stay, etc. that is not including the $179.90 for her very first visit with rabies, bordetell, Revolution for 7 mos, fecal flotation, office call, etc. But thank goodness now she goes back in one year in June. But to me it was all wort h it since I love and trust our vet very much and he used the latest laser surgery on Izzy to minimize the discomfort and pain.

We had 2 great vets when we lived in Fort Worth but now that we have moved to Waco- I am still looking. I am concerned also how they will treat my little guy....Plus, realistically, I also want to watch what they charge too...

I know we are going to have to have multiple teeth removed at neuter time....
So I have been calling around. I may have to just drive back to Fort Worth...ughhhhhh

I seriously hope it doesn't cost that much! Roxie is getting spayed and having teeth extracted one week from today...I didn't even think to ask how much it would cost. I figured the bill would be pricey but never imagined the bill could be over 1,000!

Holly_QD · 08-28-2007, 06:16 PM

WOWSER! Some of those prices are outrageous.
I payed $119 for the spaying and since she was already under, they only charged me $10 per tooth. I also paid $25 for pre-op blood work. They even let you give payments so long as you leave checks with different dates.

It cost me to have Deiter nutered and 9 teeth pulled and to stay over only $129.00. Which I thought was very cheap.

My Tobi has to have 4 canine puppy teeth taken out because they're growing in parallel to his puppy teeth. He's also right around that age to be neutered, so I took him to the vet this morning. Well, I expected it to be rather pricey, BUT, I was SHOCKED at how much the vet was looking to charge. Here is the estimate the vet gave after the $48.50 regular exam fee:
Neuter: $181.90
1 Tooth Extraction: $123.91/per tooth
Pre & Post Operative Hospital Care: $76.53
Extended General Anesthetic for Dental Treatment: $277.30
IV Fluids: $154.65
*optional* Blood Test: $189.63

So, overall the total for all 4 canine puppy teeth to be taken out and neutering will cost close to $1200.00 Canadian. Tobi would only be there for a few hours, so no over night stay will be required. So, I already know that this is really expensive, but I just wanted to know what your experience is with these procedures...b/c I'm feeling a little ripped off.

Wow that is absolutely rediculous! I'm a vet student so I'm not normally one to complain about vet prices because I think vets deserve what they make, but prices like these really are rediculous. I can understand $181.00 for the neuter, if that includes anaesthesia and all...but to charge $181.00 plus $76 plus $277 plus 154.65 is CRAZY!! These are seriously the highest prices I have EVER seen, and I have seen some high ones that I thought were too high. One vet here told me $350 to spay Lacy and I thought that was too much - she was spayed at another vet for a little over $100. I think $200 or under is reasonable for a normal spay. What I think is really crazy about these prices is the cost to pull a tooth! Who charges over $100 per tooth? CRAZY.. I would definitely start looking around at other vets

Gazou · 08-28-2007, 08:32 PM

Spaying = $140.00
neutering =$100.00

spr377 · 08-28-2007, 08:33 PM

I think we should all switch jobs and be vets! All the bills would be paid, pronto at those prices!!!!!
