Should have used my own vet
I tried Warner West because it was close to my work and my own vet's spaying schedules had been booked for over 3 months and I wanted to get my dog spayed prior to her licensing fees being due. I called to get a cost and WW quoted me $129. When I arrived there, they gave me a form that gave me options to include a IV drip during surgery to stablize her heart rate ($50), and pain medication,($40), extra. I thought these two options should have been included with the $129 cost, however, they weren't and I want the best for my dog so I agreed. When I picked up my dog, surprisingly, the cost was had gone up $73 more dollars making it a total of $292. They said because she had her first heat they had to charge extra (news to me, never seen her go into her first heat).
Anyhow, the cost was a far cry from what was quoted on the phone. Best to ask about hidden fees.
Did I mention that my dog has not eaten in 4 days and has drank very little water and is vomiting yellow gummy bile? She is on her way back to WW today.
