Female spay 16,000+?!?!?!?

[FireMedic]

Hey everyone! I've been bringing my dog to my local vet without issue for over a year now. Today, I finally inquired about getting her spayed. I was pretty shocked when I was presented a quote of 13,880 (just for surgery, not presurgical screening or post surgery meds = +3500 baht). So I just sat there and looked at them like they were crazy. Am I missing something? How much is a typical spay or neuter here?

[Sheryl]

Definitely much less than that.

Where do you live? Good choices in the Bangkok area are Kasetsart university Small Animal clinic, Mahidol University Vet Hospital in Slaya, and the Animal Hospital under Royal Patronage out on Ramkamhaeng near the ring road.

I don't recall exact costs but well under 10,000. Maybe around 5,000 inclusive of preliminary blood work.

As far as I know around 1,500 baht is the fee.

It is in Khon Kaen University Animal Hospital anyway.

Sorry, I'm in Nonthaburi by Central Chaeng Wattana. I was thinking 3-5000 at the most......but wow!

[stephenterry]

Total RIP off. My local CM vet charges 2800 all inclusive. The birch stays for 2 nights, blood test before surgery, medicine and bandages.

From that location, go to Kasetsart. (On Pahonyothin just north of Lard Prao). kah.kasetanimalhospital.com

As it is a giov ernment facility, you'll have tio first go, get check up and blood work then schedule the procedure and there will be a wait. But quality will be good and cost as low as it comes. (More than 1500 though - I forget exactly but I think in the 2,500 - 4,500 range inclusive of the lab work and meds)

The place you have been going to is a complete rip off.

I had my dog and my cat both done at the local vets. 1500 baht total both times. That was three years ago.

Neutering a male is always cheaper, Meatboy. The last one I had done was 1,000.

Spaying a female..... 1,300, but that was several years ago. I would guess 2,500 is about right.

[schondie]

Ouch!!!!!!! Rip off for sure.

We paid 500 baht for the surgery and a few hundred extra for medicines and after care, then again we don't live in a fancy Dan area.

16,000 baht ++ is more than I would pay in England and that's an expensive country. Time to find a new honest vet.

[slerickson]

I paid about 1400 bt Recently in Lamphun. Included follow up visits and meds. Good results. Had a dog done in US and it died in a week from internal bleeding.

Thong Lor vets told me Thb 15k for my 30kilo chow.

Yes, Thong Lor vet on Cheang Wattana is the vet I use for my dogs......up until now, I've been ok with the prices.

[willyumiii]

Wow!

You could buy a lot of condoms for 16,000!

[snowgard]

The price in Pattaya is between 2.000-3.500 THB, important the weight of the dog. A good and cheap vet is opposite the Banglamung Police Station, 80m from the Fire Fighters.

I had 3 bitches spayed about 18 months ago by my regular vet in my smallish KK town. 1,200฿ each including aftercare plus a perhaps few hundred for medicines, based on a weight of about 20kg.

Bangkok prices might be higher but 10x higher is hard to justify.
