That is about what I paid for two of my pets. The cost included blood work and pain medication. I thought and still do think that it is very expensive. My other pet was adopted so I got a discount from the shelter which was nice.

You should also check in with your humane soceity or ASPCA...they should be able to give you a low-cost pet spay/ neuter option. In our area there is a clinic that only does low cost spay/ neuter. Kelley’s last blog post..Word of the Year 2009

It cost us $390 for our doberman cause she had to have some bloodwork before hand to test for a genetic disorder that can cause dobermen to bleed out during surgery. Yeah, my dh was soooo happy about that one. Andrea’s last blog post..Scrapbook Saturday

Wow, that is HIGH! It's been awhile but I don't even think it cost that much to spay our dog. Kim @ What's That Smell?’s last blog post..CPSIA - The end of handmade?

I will have to look into this pet insurance thing for my 11 YO dachshund who, several years ago, had to have surgery to remove a bladder stone. Do you think they'd want to charge a higher premium because of his age and health issues? This is why we've adopted all our pets from a shelter--$200 for a spay would put a hurtin' on our bank account! The shelter where we used to volunteer charged a $65-$70 adoption fee and that included the spay/neuter, first shots, deworming, etc. I didn't realize there was no other choice but the $200 regular vet price, though. If they were serious about wanting people to spay and neuter their pets, they'd work something out for around $50! I've even heard of programs in areas with large stray populations in which they catch cats, spay/neuter them, and then set them free again (because it would be wrong to kill them just for being feral, but letting them multiply is dangerous). You'd think if they did that they could also work out an affordable fee for responsible pet owners. Jenny’s last blog post..Breastfeeding on 20/20's Extreme Mothering show

There should be plenty of places to do that cheaper. There are even some places that do it for free, because of all the strays around. Keep looking. Jessica’s last blog post..Happy New Year!!
