$1,000 for spaying + dental work? Hi all, I just went to a local pet hospital today to get Bambie checked and get some quote on spaying. Grand total is $976.50 (spaying, dental cleaning and 4 teeth pulled). I literally :eek: Here's the detail: $60.00 - Catherization IV catherer $45.00 - Fluid therapy I.V. $80.00 - Preanesthesia blood screen $60.00 - Anesthesia-additional 1/2 hours $273.00 - Ovariohysterectomy K-9 1-40 lbs $31.00 - Injection - antibiotic $34.00 - Injection - pain medication $44.00 - NSAID injection 1 ml or less $105.00 - Dental cleaning $20.00 - Dental extraction routine $30.50 - Dental extraction type 1 $84.00 - Dental radiology $30.00 - Thermal support $80.00 - Medication ------------------------------------------------- + $976.50 - TOTAL I think that's just outrageous. :eek: I live around the Bay Area, San Bruno to be exact. I'd appreciate it if anyone can recommend me a better vet with better price. Thank you! Hugs, Kiara & Bambie |
Like WOW! That vet sure thinks highly of him/herself. Hey, I live in Rome, Georgia and I have a GREAT vet. Georgia is a great place to visit this time of year :) |
WHOA! That'a NUTS!!!!!!!!!!:eek: I'm hoping someone here will help you find a great vet that's not so pricey, holy MOLEY!!!!!! Good luck:D!!! |
holy crap im glad i dont live in ca. max would have been 290 for neutering and dental..but his teeth arent that bad so we are using the wash and drops in the water to see if that helps first...i sure hope you can find a reasonable vet geez |
It is o expensive here in California. My Mil called earlier this evening and said she just had her dogs teeth cleaned and pulled...get this cleaned, 2 teeth pulled and antibotics.....54 bucks!!! She is in synder Texas . I wanted to get Rocco and Sissys done when we were there at Christmas time. He was booked thought. |
My vet quoted me 135. for spay and removing 2 (well now 1 cause one came out) baby tooth...I'm in NYC....actually I'm thinking I'm gonna have it done this Thursday (of course I'm a nervous wreck thinking about it) |
:confused: omg!? that is wayyy overpriced... you should search online for vets near your area and see how they rate? i think spayed + teeth pulled is usually around $200 here.. |

I am not 100% sure but I think that my vet charges $60.00 to spay. I will check monday. If I am correct you would save money coming to KY for the spaying...LOL |
In my area its normally around $75 spay/neuter add $50 if you want blood work, I was charged $200 for spay & a dental No blood work. You getting quotes from a celebrity vet out there in cali:D |
Hi, thats wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overpriced :thumbdown When I had Trixie fixed it cost about $250 and that was for the pre-blood work, surgery, pain meds and her stay overnight. I had Pia fixed at another vet (since I moved) and she had 4 baby teeth pulled, pre-blood work, and the surgery for under $200. However, Pia's vet turned out to be a nightmare and I almost lost my little girl. In return for his mistakes I ended up having a vet bill of about $2000 :( Th best advice I can give is run from this vet that gave you such a high quote but also really check out the vet that you end up deciding on. Talk to as many people as possible. My poor Pia almost died because my vet sent her home the same day as surgery and felt she could go an entire day of throwing up and having the ugly D. In return she almost didn\'t make it because she went into shock. Thank goodness I had a wonderful ER to take her to. I\'m not trying to scare you. The only thing that needed done with Pia was to put her on an IV for fluids. SIMPLE but the vet pretty much didn\'t want to take his time to do so. This was after many calls and even taking her there. His cure was to give a shot of fluids which wasn\'t enough. The worse thing about this vet is that he has two yorkies of his own. Thats why I trusted him :mad: Big mistake!! So please really check out the person you decide to go to and ask tons of questions. Good Luck!! |
Looks like it would be cheaper for you to to get the procedure done in another state including the roundtrip airline tickets!!! Wow. |
OMG, I just realized who you were. You used Pia\'s pic for those pj\'s on ebay..:D Welcome to YT!!! |
:eek: :eek: :eek: that is so overpriced!!!! I\'d be looking for a new vet!!! My vet didn\'t charge extra to extract 4 teeth when Max was neutered. I think I paid about $150 but it also included his rabies shot. |
What a rip off.:eek: I thought NY was bad. It cost me 250.00 to neuter Buddy and it was enclusive of meds, etc. Vet pulled one puppy tooth for free. It is possible to go to the ASPCA and get a voucher for spaying? My daughter did here and it cost her $50.00 because they encourage you to do it and give a large discount on the procedure. A friend who does rescue also does it for dogs/cats she rescues. I didn\'t go. Dumb me. If you can get a voucher you can use your own vet. Income means nothing. Carol & Buddy |
