Did you know that on average, you'll spend about $400 when you get your dog spayed? That cost tends to include a few other things like microchipping, maybe some vaccinations or two, and certainly some bloodwork, but it all adds up, with the basic surgery ranging from $250 - $400 and up.
Here's a pretty standard example from Maddi, a Golden Retriever born in July 2010 and living in Oviedo FL:
| DATE | ITEM | BILLED AMOUNT | |||
| 10/25/2010 | Waste | $3.00 | |||
| 10/25/2010 | Rabies Vx | $16.00 | |||
| 10/25/2010 | DHPP Vx | $36.00 | |||
| 10/25/2010 | Coronavirus Vx | $12.00 | |||
| 10/25/2010 | Fecal Exam | $18.00 | |||
| 10/25/2010 | Exam | $28.00 | |||
| 10/25/2010 | Microchip | $44.00 | |||
| 10/25/2010 | Pain Meds | $0.00 | |||
| 10/25/2010 | Spay | $250.00 | |||
| 10/25/2010 | Pre Op Profile | $30.00 | |||
| Total | $437.00 | ||||
Maddi pet mom got a refund of $400 for this surgery from Embrace because she has the Wellness Rewards Plus plan on her policy. No deductible, no sublimits, no fuss.
