Every pet deserves good care. And every pet owner deserves to know what that care could cost before they walk through the clinic door.
VetCareCosts.com was built for one simple reason: veterinary pricing in the United States is opaque, inconsistent, and often shocking. The same spay procedure can cost $375 at one clinic and $1,800 at another — in the same city, sometimes in the same neighborhood. Pet owners have no way to know this without calling around, and most don't have the time.
We put prices in one place so you can make an informed decision about where to take your pet. No signup. Just prices.
Veterinary care costs in the US have risen more than 60% since 2014 — and millions of pet owners are being left behind.
A 2025 study by PetSmart Charities and Gallup found that 52% of U.S. pet owners have skipped or declined recommended veterinary care. Among those who turned down care, 71% cited cost as the primary reason. The consequences are serious: 14% of pet owners who declined care reported that their pet's condition worsened or their pet passed away as a result.
The numbers behind surrendered and euthanized pets are equally sobering. According to the Humane Society of the United States, approximately 20 million pets in America live in households experiencing poverty — and 70% of those pets have never seen a veterinarian. 11% of pet owners report knowing someone who had to surrender a pet because veterinary care was too expensive.
Perhaps most striking: this isn't just a low-income problem. One in three pet owners with household incomes of $90,000 or more who declined recommended care said they did so because they couldn't afford it. The same Gallup study found that 73% of pet owners who turned down care were never offered a lower-cost alternative by their vet.
Price transparency won't solve everything. But it's a start. Knowing that one clinic charges $375 for a spay and another charges $1,800 — for the same procedure, a few miles apart — is information every pet owner deserves to have.
