Survey: Vet Cost

[lapage24]

Just curious to see what the charges are around the country for just an office exam. Nothing else. Just the fee to be seen by the vet. Make sure you include the general area that you're in.

I'll start

Charlotte, NC area - $50ish (this ranges from $42 to $56, but on average about $50)

In Southern Illinois, our vet charges $27.

 

[Alicia]

$40ish
upstate NY

 

[YorkvilleNewfie]

$40 here! Drives me nuts because they charge it absolutely every time you go in, even if no examination is performed!

 

[KodysGrandma]

$35 Pace, FL. I think Pensacola is more

I just paid $49 for a "puppy exam" and that included 12 or 16 weeks shots (does not include dewormer).

 

[nowhavethreebears]

33.00 here to see the doc. Though sometimes they give me a break and just charge me for services, since I am sure I have put at least one of their kids through college over the past 20 years!

 

[Vicster]

$40 here in Southern DE. I give my own shots, so there, I only pay for the shots.

ok....this isn't right! Back in January I paid $57 for the annual but when Zeke went in for x-rays the charge was $65 because he considered it a pre-surgical exam. Central Jersey

Yeah, I'm curious now as to why my area seems so much more expensive. :\

The bad part is that I am considering fostering for SENC because they need foster homes urgently, but last time, with Hera, we discovered that vet bills in my area are bad. It takes more money out of rescue funds to go to vet here than if someone in another area were to foster and take the newf to the vet there.

An office call here is $25-27. Greenville, OH

 

[newflizzie]

$33-$65 here in South Charlotte NC depending if the evaluation is brief, intermediate, or comprehensive.

Lauren ask if they will give you a break and do things at least at cost - most vets will for fosters at least a certain amount of times.

You mean for a foster? Didn't you say you knew someone in Charlotte that works with foster programs?

 

[ardeagold]

Around $35 - $40 here on the Eastern Shore of MD, and that's for a 30 minute block of time. Some places only block 15 mins.

 

[hemingway]

$65 here.....ugh.

 

[2newfs4now]

$36 here but, I think our vet is on the low end of the scale and he often waves the fee for long time clients if there is more involved (ex-rays, meds, etc.)

 

[2newfs4now]

P.S. We're about an hour north of Seattle, WA.

 

[KatieB]

$45 here in Columbus, OH. If it's a recheck on something it's $22. It's $69 for the cardiologist Murphy sees. I have had times where my vet waves the fee. You'd pay much more if you went to a human doctor so just try to keep that in mind before getting upset. They do have to make a living and pay back huge student loans.

 

[Newfs Forever]

$69.00 just for a recheck in NH.
