Nope, it's not all of Ontario. I live in the Georgian bay area and none of the local vets (to my knowledge) even have low priced spay/neuter days. I paid $80 for Chesters neuter and mom paid $150 for Luna's spay this year. Our local vets office just raised their fees too from $35 to $45 a visit. I hate to switch vets, because we trust this one enough, but the rates are getting out of hand and there's a cheaper place in the neighbouring town.
Mom's in disbelief. When we had our last cats fixed (most recently 15 years ago) they paid something like $40 for a spay! Ah, those were the days.

I am confused.... do you normally have to get your pet fixed more than once?

I think caz just means that the vet offers a free spay/neuter clinic once a year. My vet has the last Tuesday of each month as a discounted vaccination clinic day.

Holy Moly!!!!!!!!!!
I just got Bobber spayed a couple of weeks ago and it was in the $100 range plus 2 weeks antibiotics ($39). Bakker's nueter was $60-$70 ish-I would have to re-look at the bills.

Wow that is alot! I paid about $130 for Dori's spay. That included the blood work prior to the anesthesia, and the pain medicine for after.

now i feel guilty for getting mad at my vet
Cable's spay was $47.00 at the mobile vet's... Java's was supposed to be $60.00, but they charged me $15.00 extra because she was in heat... actually, i didn't get mad at the vet for the extra charge, but because i wasn't informed of it ahead of time, in which case i would've waited till she was no longer in heat to spay her. those prices are outlandish - you could probably save money flying them down here to texas for the procedures, + you'd get to see some of the country!

I'm paying around US$125 for Mitts on Tuesday, but that includes blood work, neuter, anesthetic, anti-biotics and that cone thing. I also picked an expensive vet here in Taiwan, as most of the local vets have store front surgeries and they don't seem very clean.

On a side note, they don't really charge for a visit here, they just charge for the meds or whatever the cat needed. I took Mitts in as he had a tapeworm, and the total bill for tapeworm meds (crushed to powder by the vet), 3 months of Frontline, and clipping his nails was maybe $25 US.

Bob & Allie (nuggetless & ovary-free) are back home & doing exceptionally well.

I am bringing my itemized vet. bill to my pals down at the Humane Society because they can't believe the price of $475.00 either!! In the interim, I asked Society for a new vet. and to my pleasure, they referred one who lives 6 blocks away & does house calls!! Wow!! How nice would that be


Before I forget...upon picking Allie up from her spay the vet.'s office wanted to know if I wanted her to have a collar to keep her from accessing her healing belly area...and for $20.00 more!! Ha! Ha! Ha! I think I've paid less for a scarf
No collar & again, most important...Bob & Allie are doing great

i bought one at petsmart, for less than $10 - the smallest they had, worked fine except Pixel couldn't stand it... she kept backing up, like she could back out of it! i finally just took it off of her. you can probably just bandage it well & put a sock or some kind of tube around her & that'd work.
glad you found a new place, tho!

Wow. That seems pretty outrageous. My vet charges $90 for a spay, $65 for neuter and reduces those rates for stray/rescue cats.
