Vet Bills

Ok, just out of curiosity.......I adopted a puppy recently and in the past month have spent over $300 on shots. Am I getting ripped off? I just went today and had 3 boosters that include the distemper, lyme's vaccine and...can't remember the 3rd....but cost me $83. Is that the normal price? I ask because I also asked about neutering and they gave me a printout saying it would be over $400 for that, and that seems like alot.....don't get me wrong, I plan on still getting all the shots and getting him neutered, but I would just like to know if this is what all places are charging these days....

Yup..bout 20 bucks a shot and then the office visit...all adds up...and neuter is major operation. Check around..SMAWL, Charles County Humane Society may offer cheaper services.
400 for a neuter is high..I agree....check around..

You can get the puppy neutered for way less at the Well Pet Clinic as well as the puppy shots

I just got my lab spayed, microchiped and rabies shot at Charles County Human Society for $120.00 and yes I live in St. Marys.

Isn't there a place called Lucky Ones in Charlotte Hall? I can't remember, and it sounds like your quoting my vet! I just took a cat in and got a 10 min. exam and 3 shots and spent 140.00!

I totally agree, vet prices in this state are out of sight!

Just got this guy neutered, rabies, heartworm check and wormed for $130 at Dr. Browns in Calvert.

what hospital did you use? PM if you don't want to say publicly.

Wait till your pup needs surgery!

(Hopefully it never will, but be prepared and bring plenty of KY!)

Get Pet Insurance. The cost of Vet visits and shots prices are reduced.
