exactly, check them out..
in Michigan, we have just opened a clinic for low cost spay and neuter..PAWS is the name of the group.

$242.50 - the operation itself

$17.28 - Rabies vaccination
$79.78 - Test for Feline HIV

$410.02

Yikes!

Definitely check around. We have groups around here that will help and even pay for low cost spaying/nuetering. Check at Pet Smart or other pet stores and they should be able to tell you about groups that can help.

Yes, check around! There's a vet in my town and one or two days a month he performs low cost spaying and neutering. I think the cost is about 40% of the usual operation.

i had my female dog done at the local PAWS and they only charged 140. and that included the collar thing cause she wouldn't leave the incision alone.

That is crazy! Is this vet situated on the "right side of the tracks"? I know vets around here have been known to charge more depending on where they are located. Call around. When I needed blood tests done on my dog, I called around. There was a anywhere from a $20 to a $150 difference depending on the vet.
I don't know if you are close enough to utilize this facility, but they may have other references! Thanks for "neutralizing" this boy :thumbup:

Our county Animal Center provides neutering and spaying for about $40, which also includes micro-chipping. The hardest thing about was was getting the appointment...the slots fill up quickly! I'd check with your local animal center or humane society.

I had a canine female spayed for $108 total. I know felines are less and males are less. Moira's vaccines were up to date and I declined pre op blood work, so this was the total for the spay, pain meds and collar.

Our country vet charges $20-25 for neutering, $25-30 for spaying a cat. Dogs are just a bit more. If the female is in heat the cost goes up $5-10. Also get a voucher from the local adoption kennel to spay or neuter your adopted pet. At some of these prices it is no wonder there is an over population of cats and dogs. :(
