I agree with calling the local SPCA. They may know of vets who offer better prices or offer services themselves.

Sorry sounds like you need to find yourself a new vet. Dog spays cost around 300 cat neuters shouldn't be more than a hundred if you can even call it a real surgery takes like 2 minutes to do, 400 dollars really is the vet shitting on a gold plated toilet. 40 dollars for a vet visit is normal 75 ouch, Rabies shouldn't be over 10 dollars. I say shop shop around. Its a wonder that vet is still in business with that price gouging

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!! Our local spay/neuter clinic (staffed by each of the local vets for a different day of the week) charges $30. $35 if they need a rabies shot. I've taken my last 2 babies there to get it done.

Wow. Seems very high to me! Do you have a county shelter that offers these services? Sometimes ours has good deals.

WOW...I adopted a kitty in July for $30 from the humane shelter. That included first shots and bringing him back at 2-3 months to be "fixed".

check around there are places that do low cost spay/neutering and first shot.
we go our ferral turned adopted kitten spayed and first shots at SPOT (Stop Pet Overpopulation Today ... http://www.spotusa.org/
It was only $40 for all of it. She was only 10 weeks old so we couldn't get her rabies at the same time so we had to pay more for 2nd shots and rabies

That is more than a vasectomy for a man!!!!!!!

Check out your local shelters-some times they offer spaying/neutering for a special price. Vets are getting just like doctors- I wanted to get my kitty's teeth cleaned-he's a big boy and has his claws(yikes) wow!! shellshocked-$1,010 -forget that!!! I'll take my chances doing it myself!

some places have animal shelters, that do things like this for a minimal charge..we don't have it here, but where my daughter lives, they do have it..so check with your local animal shelter, or Sisca.
