xXGabriella-ShadowfireXx kage no neko Wait, you're telling me it costs $300-$400 to have your dog spayed? My mom got her dogs spayed at $20 each.. Does it vary by size of dog or something? Or is it by location.. In my area all dogs cost $120 to alter no matter the size. Cats cost $96-$120. An Aussie is a 40 pound dog when grown *some can get bigger and I seen some smaller* Its probably just how much her vet charges. |

I think where my mom lives also is pretty gung-ho about getting rid of accidental litters and strays, so that might be part of it. |

For me I rather pay the high amount of money for better pain meds since some places dont give the dogs and cats pain meds after the altering so they run fevers and is in pain. I do trust a shelter about an hour away to do it but otherwise I only trust the vets. *Very protective of pets*
I completly agree, I drove almost 90 miles round trip to go to my vet since I trust them. The one right in town I went to once after we moved and the vet acted like he did not like animals. |

I just love you so much my heart trembles, as I write a letter on the clouds~
The wind, will bring my heart up to you!
I'm 17 and I have to pay for my puppy and fish, while my parents pay for the rest of my animals. Even though my puppy was free, she costs a lot to take care of. I only feed her really good quality food, shots/vet care are expensive even with discounts and such, and she goes through toys like crazy. I have a job to help pay for her that only pays about $20 a month, I sell jewelry and pottery that I make whenever I can, and I have to do chores for money. Now I have to get her spayed, which is about $80 since she's under 3 pounds, which means I'll be spending the next month saving. But she's so worth it.
I miss you so much my heart cries out, as I write a letter on the clouds~
Just like rain, my tears fill up your heart! |

lilymu12 xXGabriella-ShadowfireXx lilymu12 Just sayin', y'know? This isn't particularly relevant at the moment. If the topic is a sticky it is an ongoing topic and can have people post in it all the time at any time. This topic is to let people that are wanting to get a dog know how much it cost to have one. Oh, it's a sticky? sweatdrop My arguments are invalid, then.
^^ Its fine. Half the time I dont even look to see if its a normal topic or a sticky. LOL |
