spay/neuter

[Malenie Piscetelli]

I have a question. The spay/neuter is total of $500 with microchip. Is this the right price or over price? My puppy getting done sometime in May. Thank you.

We live in San Diego...to me, this is a tad on the high side. 

First, a female's Spay is going to cost more than a male's neuter.  It is a more involved procedure

But, I only pd a total of $440 for a puppy plan that included the spay, unlimited Vet visits, heartworm testing twice a yr., 2 fecals, and all of her Vaccinations, including Bordetella. AND her microchip.

  At the same time, I would not search out the "cheapest" way either...they have a way of cutting corners and it is not always good.

I agree.  I would want a vet who is up to date on the different types of procedures. For example, a spay can be done by laproscope, or the traditional method. I am also in the same situation, I think my vet is charging too much..My question is.. do I really want to price around and have the surgery done by a vet who is a complete stranger to me and my dog?

[Malenie Piscetelli]

I agree Jill. I just want to know. if this is too high or this is about right. Thank you Jill

[Jill, Woody & Maxi]

I think it all depends...did your vet give you a print out of exactly what the $500 includes?

[Malenie Piscetelli]

Jill, yes I have a print out
