How much should castration cost

[Cazzie]

Goose's castration cost me (Bearing in mind he was 25kilos) and larger than a cocker £79.95 plus £13.99 vat totalling £93.94.  He was castrated in a brand new vets in Blairgowrie, with all new modern equipment, heated operating table and state of the art recovery room.   Otter is going there to be done as my vets in Perth want £140 to do him.   Oh I forgot the Metacam injection was 25pence  But they didnt charge me

Cazza, I get Jennifer in Blairgowrie to do all my operations as she is a perfectionist and its worth the travelling as I know the care they get afterwards

I had Alfie done in December, it was a straightforward op and it cost £101.51 including a bottle of Metacam and a follow up appointment 10 days later. I have the invoice here and the actual castration was £80.28, the Metacam was £6.11 and VAT was £15.12, the follow up appt was included in the castration cost. 

hey Nic can you you get me some metacam?? Blimey I wish my metacam for Jock was that price 

Yeah no probs, I have tons of it here as he got more after his op last week but doesn't need it any more.

Might be worth looking into

just been quoted 97.86p by my vets!

not sure why they didn't just round it up to the nearest pound 

[Dotties Mum]

When I had Storm (Weimaraner) done it was £65 including follow ups etc, they said a cocker boy would be less.  Gotta go through getting Dottie done soon as Ernie is bigger

Our vets charge 49.99 regardless of size. My bil dog scooby also only had one testicle in the right place, so he went to be castrated and they had a look for the other one, cutting him open quite a lot.They decided that it was safer to close him up rather than keep looking as they had no idea where it was and had already cut him about 8 inches looking! When he had recovered from that he had to go up country somewhere and have a scan to pinpoint the missing testicle! When he had his second operation they knew where to look but he still had to have a really big cut.The ops and the scan total came to over two thousand pounds!!!! thankgoodness they were covered with pet insurance.
Good job your boys is just inside ,but it still probably makes the op a little bit more difficult which all adds to the cost.

I have enquired at my vet, £90.00, maybee it is more due to the undescended testicle

Thanks for all your comments and advice about Robbie's castration costs. As a result I checked around and found a local practice that specialises in castration and neutering and would do it for free if I lived in a council house!! However its not worth moving !!! the good news is they charge £60 for a straightforward castration and £91 for a neutering or an undescended case. Robbie is booked in for the 18th March poor thing !!

Just paid Braan's castration fee £85 + plus pennies

Mind you Braan has taken his own stitches out - wonder if I'll get a discount

[Bev]

[*sammy*]

i've just booked sam in and i was quoted £154.00, for the operation it's self, plus painkillers and follow up appointment i thought it sounded ok until i've read this post!! think i'll have a phone around!

I have just booked Harvey to be castrated as he has only 1 testicle, my vet has quoted me £170.00 plus consultation fee and tablets, so am in shock, he needs to have it done, so it will be worth it in the end, it's worth that just to see the vet .
