How much did it cost to neuter your dog?

[Christiansmommy]

I believe female spaying may cost more, b/c there is more to the surgery. Dale hasn't been neutered yet, b/c we were contemplating showing him, but we aren't going to, so I called the vet to see what the cost was to neuter him. We have only gone to this vet a couple of times (we are new to the area), so i am not "hooked" on them,...anyway, they quoted $252!! I thought that was a bit high! So, i called another vet in the area, that i hear is good, and they quoted $165, which is more like it! I think we will be switching vets...i think their prices are crazy high on everything! ANyway, just curious what it was to neuter your dog. Dale is a large breed, so size should be noted, since that can effect the price....

$252 is a LOT to neuter a dog! Way too much.

In our area, $165 is still a little high, but it really depends on where you are.

It was roughly $120 (Canadian) to neuter Kai. Around here, $165 would be considered quite a bit but I guess it all depends on where you are.

It cost me $140 (Australian $$$) for Elvis and he was small to medium at the time, 7 months old he was. And my Mums Chihuahua cost $115 (Aus).

It also depends on weight/size I believe?

I just looked in Jasper's vet book, and his neutering was exactly $178.82(Canadian).

Yes, Dale is a large breed weighing over 80 lbs...that is where the prices starts to go up...

I think it cost me $65 each to spayed my girls. I don't know if the County shelters get a deal with the vets or what.

i have no idea! i've always got dogs that were already s/n.

I'm not sure right now, but when I had Ginger spayed it cost me $81/ with rabies shot and some other shot.

I need to set up a appointment for Reggie sometime this month. It will probably be around same price for her as it was for Ginger.

I just looked up my receipt for Ripley. His neutering was $98 but then he was only 11 lbs. at the time. They also noted that a couple of baby teeth were still in his mouth, crowding his permanent teeth which had already come in, so they extracted them. That was an addition $14.00 but was done while he was *knocked out* so I got two procedures done under one anesthesia. :)

About 150 for a female unless she's in heat then it's closer to 250.

The last male I had neutered was Hobo and because he weighs under 50 pounds he qualified as a small dog and it was just under 100 bucks.

Around here, $80-150 is most common, but on a large breed that is already pretty big, it can be very costly. Jynnelle's family paid $260 to have Baby spayed, and she was only six months old. That was the cheapest price they could find for a great dane.

EDIT: I forgot that the SPCA will neuter/spay for $50.

Harley was neutered at the shelter and it was included in his $85 adoption fee. Sylvia was spayed in February and it was only $120 I think. The males were less.

[Jamieejo85]

Where we took Omar, the based it on his weight..he weighs 135lbs so it cost 135 dollars.

[Samantha Puppy]

I don't remember the exact total, but Samantha's spaying was somewhere around $300.

[Logan]

Honey and Lilly (females, obviously ;) ) cost about $175 each, five years ago, I think. Robyn, I know it's more, but the main thing is that you "bond" with your vet! Hopefully the less expensive one will be one that you like a lot. As my vet has gotten to know me, over the years, he has charged me less and less! Ha Ha!!!! :D

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Wow, we got Blaze fixed FOR FREE! :D When we lived in CA, we got Blaze neutered when he was 5 months old, and it didn't cost ANYTHING, because supposingly California (at least Southern CA) really supports fixing pets, so the county paid for it! It was great! ;)

[MariaM]

For Major, it was $140 Canadian. He was about 34.8 pounds I think. If he was over 40 pounds, it would have been $160 (I think).

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

It costed $120.00 (canadian) for a male Rottie I had a really long time ago. It costed my Grandma $85.00 to do her mini doxie.

[petslover]

my dad only paid like 45 dollars for our dog, but she is like 14 pounds maybe.

[KYS]

Neutering depends on the weight over my way.
Rocky was a pup around 55 pounds and
it cost me back in 1/2001, $105.00.

[wolf_Q]

If I can remember correctly, it was around $50 for Nebo. He was only 4 months old at the time though, and around 30 lbs.

[PJ's Mom]

It was somewhere around $100 for Peej, but that was almost 6 years ago. :)
