getting yorkie neutered-which is better hi, i called banfield dog and cat hospital in petsmart and they said it costs 300.00 to get a yorkie neutered because they use human grade anasteshia , & they do blood work - instead of what a regular vet uses. does anyone know about this , because when i got sammy i took him to my vet and it costs 132.00 . but sammy did not have blood work done when they did the operation . i have never heard of this and i thought it was quite a bit of money. the reason i am asking is i am going to look at yorkie this week, because sammy needs a playmate - ( i think ) lol |
Personally I wouldn't use Banfield for any veterinary care You can ask your regular vet what anesthesia they use on small breed dogs and request a full blood panel. Here I paid...$225 |
can i ask why you would not use banfield. i had heard good things about them. |
Stay AWAY from Banfield! Like the previous poster before me said; don't use the Banfield clinics for ANYTHING!!!! They vaccinate dogs WHILE under anesthesia!!! :thumbdown :eek: :( They almost killed one of my own dogs years ago before I stopped using them. Google the term "Banfield sucks" and you will find many, many complaints lodged against them! Any vet will do a complete blood panel. More importantly is how experienced the vet is with small breed dogs and how educated the staff is who will assist during the operation. Extra small instruments should be used, the dog's vitals should be monitored during the operation via machine and IV drip (ideally, he should also lay on a warming mat) and Isofluorine gas should be used to subdue the dog.
