Spay/Neuter Pricing

Hi Everyone,

Since I've been asked about a million times lately why it costs me $200 to have a dog neutered, I thought I'd post this link.

I hope this helps. Spay/neuter prices vary greatly depending on the vet, what method they use, location, etc. So, when someone says it cost them $300 to have their dog neutered--this is why--many vets cost even more!!!

In my puppies, I must pay for this cost out of my own pocket if they are going to pet homes. I have to charge enough to pay for the neuter in addition to the puppy and then break even in total. In addition, some vets won't do an early spay/ neuter (particulary on a 2lb chihuahua) because they aren't comfortable with it--so your choices narrow and the cost goes up.

I hope this helps everyone! I've also phoned a recommended clinic where I live (which I don't normally stray from my normal vet) to see what the price was and to see how early he does neuters. I wish I didn't have to charge over $600 for a pet puppy so I was hoping that this would help. Unfortunately, he won't do a neuter until at least 5 months of age. The price is good: only $95, plus $12 for a rabies shot. But I'd rather have "Teddy" done at 4 months or prior because he'll be easier to place before he hits his "ugly teenage" phase...LOL!
