Our Costs
Quality Care First - And Value Just Behind
We know you want the best care possible for your pets. We also know costs can be a hurdle. So while we would never cut corners in caring for your pets, we always look to provide the best value to our clients.
One of the biggest ways we offer a better value on the best care is through Wellness Membership. Member pets get the standard Wellness care we recommend for all pets included at no additional charge, plus savings all additional exams and many common diagnostics.
We apply the same thinking to surgery and dentistry, too. After all, if your pet really needs blood pressure monitoring to ensure that surgery is safe (she does!), it shouldn’t be optional, should it? And when all of our patients receive that monitoring instead of just a few, we can offer it for less to them all – providing better care for your pet and a better value to your wallet!
Cost For Services
-
General Services
While specific prices may vary from hospital to hospital, you’ll find your final cost will be about the same anywhere in the area. Our prices are similar (and sometimes better) to others in the area. However, AVC is focused on bringing all our clients the best care and service for the best value possible. Our client feedback is clear evidence we’re meeting those standards, too!
While it is impossible to provide an estimate for every situation, the majority of “sick call” appointments will have an out-the-door cost of $150-$250. This of course may vary greatly depending on your pet’s specific issues, and recommendations may be substantially more (or less). However, all costs will be clearly discussed at your appointment and expensive diagnostics or tests will not be run without your approval.

Wellness Care
Every pet owner has something in common with Access Veterinary Care – we both want your pet to get everything they need to stay health, happy, and excited about life. We see our relationship with your family as a team, where our staff and doctors work with you and your pets to provide them the best life possible. That’s why Wellness Care like their annual checkup, vaccine updates, and screening tests are included as part of each pet’s Membership.

Spay & Neuter Services
Spay & neuter procedures are routine, but it is important to remember that they are surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia. With that in mind, we ensure your pet’s procedure is as safe and pain-free as possible. Every surgery at AVC receives:
- IV catheter placement for fluids to maintain blood pressure, and for quick access in case of emergency
- Complete monitoring of pulse, respiration, electrocardiogram, oxygenation, and blood pressure by a trained technician/assistant
- Complex, modern anesthetic protocols for improved safety
- Pre-, post-, and intra-operative pain medications to maximize comfort
At AVC, your pet’s comfort and safety is never optional. As such, our surgical prices are not the cheapest, but we promise you they are the best value you will find for the level of care provided – and we know value and safety are most important to our clients.
Pre-Surgical Consult & Estimate
Each pet is unique – some are large, some are small, others may have additional issues that need addressed while under anesthesia. That’s why we require a quick, reduced cost Pre-Surgical Consult* prior to scheduling any surgery. The consult gives the Veterinarian a chance to screen for any problems, make a plan to deal with them, and give you an accurate estimate of costs. We don’t want surprises during surgery, and you don’t want surprises at check-out.
While we cannot tell you what a surgery will cost for your pet until we see them, most dog neuters cost around $250-350 and dog spays start around $350 for small, young dogs – though a large adult female may cost substantially more ($600-900). Feline spays typically start around $250.
* Pre-Surgical Consults include a brief evaluation by a DVM and assistant to screen for issues that may complicate the procedure or anesthesia. Any additional issues, or consultation outside the scope of the surgery, will require a standard exam at the usual fee.
Wells Fargo Health Advantage
We understand that unexpected problems can stress your budget. We offer and accept financing with Wells Fargo Health Advantage, which may provide interest free financing if paid in full within six months (standard credit rates apply if not paid in that time frame). A simple credit check is required for approval, and the application only takes a few minutes.
