#dog - #$800 too high of a quote for a neuter?


$800 too high of a quote for a neuter?

Hi all,

I have an 80 lbs, 12 month old chocolate lab who we are neutering soon. We were trying to wait until 12-months but he is out of control with the "hormonal" behaviors.

We were quoted nearly $800 from a vet to do the procedure:

  • Pre-anesthesia panel: $164
  • Procedural fluids: $142
  • Neuter package: $275
  • Anesthesia monitor: $100
  • Pain injection/analgesic: $50
  • Post op pain meds (Rimadyl): $42 for 10
  • Biohazard fee: $10
  • Post op laser: $17

We are in the DC area, so I understand that cost of living may be influencing this cost, but just wanted a second opinion!

Thanks!
