Veterinary pricing: Costs for services and procedures vary wildly,

[MikePal]

Good report; a cautionary tale and proof you need to shop around.

I'll add; the quote we received from our local vet (Kemptville) was around $500...we headed south, it's around $200 to have your Dog neutered by a US Vet....

Global News called 10 vets around Ontario, asking how much it would cost to neuter a one-year-old, 60-pound Golden Retriever.

The cheapest option was in London, Ont., with a cost of $258 for a standard procedure, including basic pain medication, intravenous fluids and blood work.

Prices in Toronto ranged from $560 to $800.

At least three vets in Toronto quoted a price of $800 to have a Golden Retriever neutered, but pain medication and blood work were not included.

Ill give you one example when I owned a dog. The Dog had to be put down unfortunately, the vet wanted between $300 to $400. I brought the dog to the humane society and they did it for $60. Same needle same procedure but not the same price.
