Re: cost of neutering

I know, can't imagine paying £75!

How many practices do you have in your area?

Re: cost of neutering

Hi,

I don't live in your area, so not sure how greatly cost would vary, but I'm due to book my male kitten in for neutering and to give you an idea of local variations between my two closest vets....one was charging £31 as a half price January sale price...and the other charges £36 all year round. Not sure if the first practice is having a laugh, making out they're giving you a really good January deal, or whether they really do just charge practically twice that of the other practices nearby?

I'm sure I read it costs more for females too?

Suppose you just need to ask around and weigh up which practice you feel happy to entrust your little ones with at the end of the day

Females do cost more generally as it's not a straightforward 'snip' like the boys
And if there aren't many vet practices in your area then they will bump up their price as they don't have to worry about competition

Re: cost of neutering

my vets wanted £90!!!!!! For my boy to be done nearly died! I actually had sheldon done at a pets at home practice and as nervas as i was about it with it being a pets at home the one i went to i would highly reccomened!! My sister even took her girl jenni there to be spayed and they did a fab job! Cost us £40 for sheldon to be snipped and they did his microchip for £5 cos he was being snipped at the same time!

Re: cost of neutering

Its very expensive here in Spain, my friend was quoted 185€ (£170) the other day for a female cat and 85€ (£70) for a male, I dont think they have caught on here yet, that if they reduced the price, more people would have it done which would mean far less stray cats...

No idea why they charge so much... having had a few done (male and female) on my dining table!!! and seeing it first hand how fast and easily its done, I think its a total ripoff...

just to add.... the reason I had some done on my table is that my friend used to organise a vet to come over, they would trap a lot of the strays, neuture and then release them... and also do ones that people had took in and rescue

Re: cost of neutering

Seb was already netuered before I adopted him but I did look at the costs before I got him, I'm in High Wycombe, Bucks, it ranges from around £48, spaying is more. It does depend on the vet and area.
