The cost for stitches on a dog can vary widely based on factors such as the location of the injury, the complexity of the procedure, and the veterinary clinic's pricing. On average, you can expect to pay between $100 and $300 for stitches, including the examination and anesthesia if needed. Additional costs may arise if there are complications or if follow-up care is required. Always consult your veterinarian for a specific estimate based on your dog's needs.
Sometimes when the vet has spayed the dog they can often end the stitching (a knot) leaving a piece of the stitch too long that can dig into the dog's belly. Either you can cut off the extra or take the dog back to the vet (there should be no additional cost for this) and have them check the stitches out. Stitches don't stick to the skin, but are sewn in. The vet would have told you when to bring the dog back to have the stitches removed. If the wound looks good and the dog is irritated by the stitches (each dog, just like a human can heal quickly or slowly) perhaps it's time for the dog to have the stitches out. See your vet right away!
You can get your pet a cone for around$10-$15, it will prevent dog from licking stitches. (My dog licked her stitches and got 4 staples with no anesthesia)
What is the average cost for seven stitches on finger in ER?
No. Administering stitches to a dog is a painful process and the dog might react violently due to the pain if the vet tries to put on stitches without sedating him. So it is best to sedate the dog before trying to sew him up.
This would be hard to determine because it depends on how many stitches, and where the stitches are on your body.

The best thing to do is ask the vet.
If surgical stitches don't heal properly, you can have further problems at the site including hernias and eviscerations - you need to take your dog to a veterinarian for surgical repair of this.
After surgery, a dog's stitches should appear clean, intact, and free of any swelling, redness, or discharge. It is important to monitor the stitches regularly for any signs of infection or complications. If there are any concerns, it is best to consult with a veterinarian for further guidance.
