I just wanted to start something that people could refer to for spay/neutering. Like where we are, what was done, how much it cost, etc. I think it is neat to compare costs over the US and over the world. Here's my information.
Where: Los Alamitos, CA
What: Spay - Regular metal stitches ($143)
Extra: Blood test ($38), pain patch ($31.49), 2 top canine teeth pulled out ($48)
Cost: $201 (including tax)
Discount: $71 overpopulation dog discount (interesting)
I was searching through many posts to get all of your information, but think it might be convenient for newbies to have this info in one place? Yes? No?
where: lafayette LA:
what: neuter , not laser...i dont have a price for mine, since i worked there it was free. but i think the surgery alone was $110 included gas and injectable anesthesia, ekg monitor
extra: blood work is i think $48 each tooth extracted is $8
important things to note are whether is was gas anesthesia vs injectable, ekg monitored, laser, etc....they all make it better for our pups and more expensive too!
Where? Rural Northwest Tennessee
Neuter with inside dissolvable stitches: 60.00
Removal of three baby teeth: 10.00
I am assuming it was injectable anesthesia...??
He also removed the hair from the inside corners of his eyes: it was not listed as a charge on the receipt.
How old should they be when they are spayed/neutered? And how old is too old? ZsaZsa is almost 8 months and hasnt gone into heat yet as I know of, I heard wait until after their first heat? Is this correct?

No, don't wait for her first heat. If you get her spayed before the first heat there is almost a zero chance for her developing mammary cancer and other female cancers. After a first heat the benefit diminishes quite a bit.

I would say have it done as soon as possible. Once she goes into heat she can't be spayed for awhile after she is done. At least that was my coworkers experience. Her dog went into heat a couple days before she was supposed to be spayed and they had to wait a couple of months.

I just had Rudy neutered two weeks ago at 7 months.It cost 180.00 which included removal of a baby tooth.He didn't get a collar and the stiches are all internal.
Pippin is getting neutered on March 10th and my vet (NW Burbs of Chicago) is charging $141 plus $25 for meds. I have a home visit vet so that includes pick up at my house and drop off as soon as Pippin is ready to come home. I don't know if anyone else on here has a home visit vet so my price might not be a good estimate, but I figured I'd post in anyway.
Neuter for <30 lb about $250 (includes isoflurance only, monitoring, neuter, internal sutures, etc.)
Pain meds $14
deciduous canine tooth extraction $25/tooth
other extractions charged by time
Bloodwork $50
I don't know what I paid for Mikey's neuter...probably for an injection of pain meds and bloodwork is all. His skin lesion removal cost me $0. LOL I wasn't even charged for the suture material. That said, his other vet bills are about $400/month right now.
Today I brought home a rescue Maltese-cotón tulear mix.
She’ll stay with Belle and me till her forever family is fixed (the shelter is currently reviewing 2 families). Within a week or fortnight they should have a family.
She gets along very well with Belle, but she’s scared of me. When I give...
Question about heartworm preventive medicine? Anyone on here not using heartguard or interceptor etc and just going with all natural products? I am trying to decide if I should give my 17 week old puppy heartguard or interceptor or just trying to go the all natural route. What are your thoughts?

Ok, I’m going crazy. I cannot seem to keep my boy clean. I feel like I have a real Human little boy. I pride myself on keeping a pretty clean house. And very very uncluttered. I don’t even have end tables in my living room if that gives you any idea. But my boy seems to turn up with the dirtiest...
