How much doets it cost to spay a dog?

Answer 1

This depends upon where exactly you are (large cities tend to be more expensive than in rural practices), the age and size of the dog (older and larger are more expensive), if your dog is in heat or pregnant (also more expensive) and your dog's overall health status (generally, the more health problems, the more expensive).

For a female puppy less than 50 pounds, never been in heat, in a suburban area at a general practice, a rough average in the United States would be $100-$250, depending upon the surgical adjuncts performed (pre-operative bloodwork, placing an IV catheter, etc). An older dog who is pregnant or in heat, over 100 pounds, may run up to $500 depending on location.

Answer 2

This is highly dependent on where you live, what the physical status of the dog is (young or old, pregnant or in heat) and what level of preventive measures you wish to be taken during surgery.

For a young dog before her first heat cycle and otherwise in good health in Columbus OH, you could reasonably have this animal spayed for around $125. For an older dog in late term pregnancy or with a complicating chronic disease (such as Cushing's or Diabetes), the cost could be up to $500. Also, in general, the cost of everything in the Midwest (such as Ohio) is less than the cost on the coasts (New Jersey, California).

It is advised that you call around to several veterinarians to check prices and services offered - some vets will charge less but won't put an IV line in or will discharge the same day while other vets may charge more but always put in an IV line just in case something goes wrong and keep the dog overnight for observation.
