The cost of a veterinarian visit can vary widely based on the type of care needed, the pet’s size and breed, and your location. Here’s a recent breakdown of typical costs for common veterinary services for dogs and cats:
Emergency Visits
• Dog: $150–$500 (exam only, not including treatment)

Additional costs for diagnostics, surgery, or hospitalization can quickly reach thousands.
Diagnostic Tests
• Blood Work: $100–$300 for both dogs and cats
• X-Rays: $150–$500 for both dogs and cats
• Ultrasounds: $300–$600
Illness or Chronic Condition Management

Surgical Procedures
• Dog: $1,000–$5,000 (e.g., ACL repair, tumor removal)
