Yes but I'm too old to shop around, drive back and forth , gas, food , argue with my husband in the car for 6 hours about dog expenses, etc.. Shopping around is for young folk. Plus I'm rich.

TPLO
I didn't think stuff was that much cheaper in the USA. definitely going to keep that in mind. Yellow Dog who did your dog's TPLO surgery? Are they close to Sarina?

The thing I wouldn't like about going across the border is if I had to leave my pooch there overnight. That, I wouldn't like, and the last time I had ACL surgery done on my pooch she had to stay the night.
The savings sure do look attractive though!

TPLO
I know that's a heck of a deal I would definitely consider it.
YD was that with rehab as well or is that just surgery? Did the surgery last?

I am baseing my quesstimate on past surgeries within the last three years. I had a c-section and spaying performed on my yellow lab that came in at $429.00 including an over night stay. In Canada I had estimates of $1,800 to the $2,400 range. I have brought many litters of pups over for a health check, deworming and first vaccination for $12.00 per pup. Fanatastic service with up to date facilities and equipment.(Canton)

It's just the surgery. You're responsible for the rehab. They usually give you some paperwork on how to perform rehab, range of motion excercises, etc.

For the neutering of the Dogs, I was quoted at $525 here and we had them done in the US for around $150. Huge saving and we had excellent service. Lots of Ontario plates in the parking lot (Canton).

Another thing that scares me is if there are complications after the surgery. What do you do then? I wouldn't worry too much about a basic neuter, but I would with a spay or TPLO.
Also all the bouncing around in the car on the drive home after a major surgery, depending on how far you are from the border.
I guess it has it's pro's and cons.

The beauty in my case it's closer to the Vet Hospital in Canton than it is to drive into Ottawa. Not an issue.
The TPLO's were done at Alta Vista, since we had insurnace and the cost wasn't an issue.
