vetenrian costs?

Question

what is the average cost of vetenrian bills if you have a labrador retiever puppy and for the rest of it life.

Answer 1

It depends entirely on the vet that you go to. Low cost clinics can cost as little as $25 for yearly vaccinations but the clinic I work for charges about $200 for this.
There is no way of estimating the cost for the rest of it's life. You never know if it will become sick or injured in the future.

Answer 2

Tough question. I think you need to put a little money up front to save your dog from trouble down the road. Go in and see a vet and ask him that question. I'd say 200 dollars down to get all his shots and stuff. Then buying toys and food that will keep him healthy will add up a little, but you will have a happier animal and you will be happier. Then there are luxury items like hair cuts and gear. This stuff also makes you and your dog happier. But the short answer is between 1000 and 5000. It depends on your dogs health and your attitude. But over at least 10 years, this is not a big bill.

Answer 3

There is no way to predict that. You could have a horrid injury that costs a grand or not. You can have a dog with bad hips that need surgery or constant medication. Who knows!!!

Answer 4

it depends on your state. Also you can't anticipate what type of health problems you will encouter. I would say with shots, and heartworm and stuff yearly about 200 a year.

Answer 5

it will most probably depend on the area in which you live. if you live in my area it would probably cost between $400.00-600.00 for all puppy vaccines and spay or neuter. yearly visits can cost as much as $250.00, for my area would include: exam, lyme vaccine, distemper vaccine, 3 year rabies, heartworm/lyme/ehrlichia test, a stool check for parasites, heartworm prevention and flea and tick prevention. In our area we use heartworm prevention year round.
