My vet wants to charge 130€ to get a female cat spayed, plus extra for the intibiotics, whats has everyone else paid, (vet is in Ontinyent) got 2 females need doing, but i think 130€ is very expensive, so trying to find somewhere cheaper

I think we paid about 100 euros all included

also included were the anti flea drops that they put on because they insisted she was riddled with fleas


she didn't have any when she went in

Jenny, we went to the same vet (at least I'm sure it will be) and were quoted that for our Tom cat and slightly more for the female.

I had 1 female and four toms, I got a deal with our local vet who did 2 free. Might be worth asking as you have 2 if they will give you a discount. Can only ask.

I have asked for discount, which i will get, but to be honest I think it is still very expensive, he told me his prices were based on UK prices!! i dont know where he has been looking as after some research ive been imformed the UK charges between 30-50pounds,

Why not ask for Spanish prices or better still ask a Spanish friend to get a price and take it in.

I found out that one of my local builders yards had two sets of prices,one for the locals and a much higher one for everyone else,(apart from the usual trade discounts).

I know its a bit of a way for you but there is a very good English speaking vet in Villalonga, give him a ring and he will give you a price over the phone - will find his number for you asap

you're not being ripped off. thats about the correct price. we know a spanish vet, who told us that it costs him about €100 just for the equipment he needs to do a female cat.

Wot a load of B**l*cks!!!!!!
takes about 15 -20 mins to spay a female cat. In my vets it £56.00 for a female cat and £48.00 for a male,and we are not the cheapest in the area

digdug

its not a load of bollocks.and whats the price in pounds got to do with what i stated? i'm talking euros, in spain.
an english girl asked us to find out as she had been quoted €120 by the local vet, her problem was that she had 4 females and couldnt afford almost 500 euros. i asked our vet who confirmed that the price was about right, so i then spoke to the guy we know, who told me what i stated.
so, no i'm not talking bolloks.

Fred James

We paid 75€ for spaying and the Toms cost 40€.

jeanc

That sounds more realistic

Didn't say you were talking Bollocks, the vet was!!!
Someone had said to ask the vet for Spanish prices not Uk, I was just trying to give a comparison! Everyone I';ve spoken to in Spain about vets have said how much cheaper they are, and i have to agree.. Think the origional poster is being ripped off!

Fred James

I agree. For an example of prices in Spain a friend recently had a major problem with their cat. The local vet (whose prices I quoted) sent them to a specialist vet in Malaga for an MRI scan. Including a 30 minute consultation the cost was 90€.
