Our dog spay pricing is by weight, as larger dogs require additional medication and anesthesia. All pricing includes physical examination, anesthesia, surgery, and pain medications during surgery.
- 2-40 lbs – $160
- 40-60 lbs – $180
- 60-80 lbs – $220
- 80 lbs-100 lbs – $270
- 100lbs and up – $290
All dogs are required to have an E-collar (cone) or surgery recovery suit after surgery to prevent licking and chewing of the incision. E-collars are an additional $20 and are mandatory unless you bring a properly fitting e-collar or surgery recovery suit with you at the time of pickup. All dogs are also required to have Take Home Pain Meds ($20). Additionally, sedatives ($15) for energetic and/or large male dogs may be recommended.
Additional charges ($25-$100) may apply for the following three conditions due to increased surgical time and medications associated with the surgery:
Enlarged Uterus – Depending on hormonal influence, the uterus may be significantly enlarged during certain times. The uterus may become enlarged prior to visible signs of heat (bleeding/enlarged vulva). Additionally, the uterus may stay enlarged (swollen, larger blood supply, fragile) for up to 3 months following active bleeding. If you prefer to reschedule based on this information, please give us ample notice (no less than 1 week). The best and safest time to spay your female dog is prior to the first heat cycle or 3 months after visible signs of heat as the uterus will have time to return to normal size. We realize this timing is not always possible which is why we offer this service.
Pregnancy – If your female dog is discovered to be pregnant at the time of surgery, the surgery will result in loss of pregnancy. If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, we recommend you visit your regular vet to have x-rays or an ultrasound performed prior to surgery. We are unable to definitively determine pregnancy or stage of pregnancy at our clinic prior to surgery. We will not be able to discontinue surgery once it has begun. In these cases, we administer fluids in recovery to restore blood volume and help anesthetic recovery. IV fluids are required for later term pregnancies for an additional $50.
Overweight – If your female dog is overweight, extra charges may apply as this makes the uterus and surrounding tissue friable (delicate) and slippery due to fat surrounding the organs. It is safest for all animals to have healthy body condition prior to anesthesia. The Doctor may require an IV catheter ($50) or decline surgery if she feels the procedure will put your pet’s health at risk.
Cerenia injection – $40 up to 60 lbs; $60 for 60 lbs and up – Required for flat-faced dogs (English & French Bulldogs, Pugs, Shih Tzus, etc.) This is an anti-nausea medication given to help decrease the risk of breathing complications secondary to vomiting. This is an optional add-on for other breeds.
Vaccines
- Rabies (required by law) – $30
- We must have proof of current rabies vaccine provided by email, text or in person. Without proof, we are required by law to administer the vaccine.
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough) – $30
- DA2PP (Distemper/Adenovirus 2/Parvo/Parainfluenza) – $30
- Leptospirosis (for dogs that visit dog parks, lakes, camping) – $40
- This has recently become a core vaccine as designated by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) due to an increase in cases. This is a bacteria spread from infected urine (usually of wild animals). This disease can be transferred to humans.
Additional Services
- Anal gland expression – $35
- Antibiotics (veterinarian determines need) – $20-$30
