How much did you pay to spay/neuter and do teeth extraction? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Akhong · 08-28-2007, 04:22 PM

Hi guys, I just wanted to know how much you guys paid for neutering/spaying and teeth extraction.

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.

I'm not sure about much except the nueter. My vet goes by dog size and to get my pug I remember it was around $75 dollars, $180 is just crazy!

But it also depends on the age. My vet said their prices go waaay up after they are 8 months old. How old is yours?

flgurl69 · 08-28-2007, 04:27 PM

Wow! That is expensive!

Bella still has a few more months to go but when I got Chloe spayed this past May I was charged $265. This included spaying, a microchip implanted, bordatella shot and 2 canine teeth extracted. The vet said he didn't charge me for the teeth extractions, which was really nice of him.

I don't know if it makes a difference in price but Chloe had went into heat once already.

Akhong · 08-28-2007, 04:29 PM

Tobi is only 2 weeks shy from 6 months....
It's a shame that this vet is soo pricey...I really like him, but can't afford to pay such inflated prices!

kalina82 · 08-28-2007, 04:33 PM

$1200 for a neuter and teeth pulling??? holy crap.

this should only cost you max $400 and even that is pushing it. $123 to pull a baby tooth is crazy and just plain ridiculous. It doesn't take that much effort from the vet to get the baby teeth out.

I wouldn't use this vet if i were you. call around and ask what other vets are charging.

jp4m2 · 08-28-2007, 04:34 PM

HOLY MOLY!!!...That sounds outrageous!!..I just has one neutered Friday...he is 8 months old

Blood Screening $21.00
Castration $77.50
Teeth Extraction $1.00
Total $99 .50

Amy81 · 08-28-2007, 05:38 PM

Its about $70+ to have neutered at my vets. plus they would probably charge the office visit of 25.00.

i dont know how much they charge for teeth pulling. but to clean them its around $80

Wow! Thats a lot. I haven't had the teeth done but neuter and microchip was 129. Then i have to pay Home Again 25 to activate the chip.

You are going to one expensive vet. Glad I have reasonable ones in my area!

I'll find out tomorrow and let you know. I'm scared!

Tillys_mom · 08-28-2007, 05:52 PM

JJ is getting spayed next week and it's gonna cost about $120

jp4m2 · 08-28-2007, 05:56 PM

Are you sure he wasn't asking you to pay his BMW payment?...

patty58 · 08-28-2007, 06:02 PM

Murfee has an extra canine tooth. When I went to my vet to get an estimate it was almost $900....and that was for ONE tooth. I could not afford that. We have moved to a new town and I will get another estimate.
