Is spaying expensive?
July 4, 2008 12:29 pm MainLet’s break down a few things and see how much spaying costs as compared to the costs of other things that can happen in an intact female. A spay depending on the size of the dog and the clinic (and what types of testing is done prior to, what anaesthesia is used, etc) can range from as low as $50 to $175 or more. You can spend many times more than this to treat a pyometra or remove mammary tumors.
Blood spots on a carpet can cost a couple hundred dollars to remove if you call in a carpet cleaning company. In addition, of you cannot get the stains out, how much will replacing the carpet cost? A litter of puppies from birth to eight weeks can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars in food, supplies and inoculations combined. If there are medical complications, this expense can grow.These expenses do not even include pre and post natal care for the mother. Spaying is cheaper than not.
