What is the normal charge for a VET VISIT2007-11-25 2:52:46

The vet I use for standard vaccines and general check-ups charges $35 for an office visit. The vet we use for urgent care (and it's not an after hours vet or ER Vet) charges $40.

I get charged $37.00 dollars for a vet checkup for my dog and my cat.

That's the normal price.

But here's something to ease your mind, after her puppy shots are done, you'll only be bringing her to the vet once a year (assuming she's healthy).

That's pretty good. Dogs cost:

It doesn't sound terribly expensive, but you could ask your current vet if he/she has a payment plan for future visits.

You could also call around to other vets and ask their prices to get a comparison for your local area.

---

That's a normal price. Prices always vary and go up a bit, but the price was higher because they had to create a new file for your dog, so just like a people doctor, they had to spend extra time to make a new file.

It's the norm, like already mentioned. In fact, I had a biopsy done on one our *deceased* mice (tumor) and had to pay the $40 new patient/office visit fee too. (It's a part of having pets...it's not cheap.)

---

I pay quite a bit. It is 100 just for the visit (includes shots,fecal) and then another 45 for the heartworm medicine. It can be pretty pricey!.

---

$39.50 is actually pretty reasonable even for a first visit. Once the puppy has gone the first set of visits you won't have to go back for at least a year for the annual check up and shots.

---

The shots sound like the average price, and the "new patient" charge will only be charged once. Each visit afterwards will probably be about $15 or less for the exam plus any other charges, such as shots.

It's common for there to be different charges for different "degrees" of a call. Some will have a flat charge for the office and add on services, others will have different types of calls with grouped services included. I personally prefer the flat fee with itemized costs. In the long run I might pay a little more (hey, doc, take a look at this...) but I like having it all spelled out for me.
