I wish , no she made a point to say for each cat, then i said wow, that's gonna be fun with 5 cats and all she said was "oh...yeh", then said she would get me an estimate of what everything would cost and send it in the mail....yay....yeh I will do some calling around.Originally Posted by Brittany
The vet I took Tsar to, that was just a regular vet, charged 30 dollars. I thought that was too much!! A lot of low cost shelters have events around here, where a vet comes and does it for like $15, I'm assuming the trade in is that the vet's name is posted all over the place LOL.
Are you sure it wasn't 110 total for all 5? Maybe a miscommunication? If I were you I'd be really concerned about what I paid for previous services too!!
goodness, that's still too much for a dental cleaning too though! most reputable vets in our area only charge between $70-95 for a good dental scaling.Originally Posted by Duchess15
That price is ridiculous! I could get a cat's teeth cleaned at our vet for that price! I paid $20 for the microchip and then $14.95 for a year of homeagain monitoring service.

wow, I'm glad I posted!!!!I will defenitly call around and ask now. that's outrageous! thank you so much folks! Again, I am so glad this site is here!!!!
I can't believe how outrageous some areas are! My total with Tsar for spaying (which was more expensive than I planned, because we thought she was a boy...$20 more for girls), first set of vaccinations, microchip, and nail clipping was 112 dollars!! I can't imagine how the pet population could be controlled with vets charging so much for every little visit! I'll admit, if I had to pay 110 dollars for a microchip I probably wouldn't have gotten one. The only reason I'd be willing to pay so much at the vet is if she had a serious problem, then I'd do anything it took... I'm also a student, so I don't have much money and that might be part of my shock lol.Originally Posted by DaniMarie

I'm in Woonsocket right now...and the vets here are outrageous money grubbing jerks!!! Even the "assistance" programs aren't helpful.
I was able to get a low-cost neuter done in massachusetts, by lost cost being $70...that was BY FAR the cheapest I found. I've heard of others on here bringing their cats to low-cost clinics to be fixed for less than HALF that!
This area is just ridiculous.
Usually around $20-30, no additional registration fees like in the US.Originally Posted by Dragoriana
I don't know how much microchipping is alone.
