Hips Xray - Page 1

How much do you guys pay for Xrays? My vet wants $575.00 for Hips and Elbows!!!!

Shop around Snajper, that sounds a lot for where you are!

I know I can drive up to PA and pay half of that lol Shity Stamford, CT lol "City that works" it should be "city's vets rip you off" lol hahahaha

I wanted to do my new pup pre-e at 6 just to see the dif between 6 and 24 but not for that price lol I have no problem just waiting till 24 and than do it final but I really wanted to see the cheng over longer period of time sucks ;)

I guess I dont feel so bad about how much I'm paying anymore.

I pay around $360, but that includes

fecal, heartworm test, dhpp, bordetella, 3yr rabies, xrays, digital cd, health cert for a dog that is being sold, 12 months of inteceptor 51-100lbs, and 3 comfortis tablets.

Looking at it now, and I have a few bills from the vet in front of me, x-rays were 121, disk was 5, and if there is an office visit its around 40. My vet doesn't normally charge an office visit because we bring in more then 2 dogs at a time and I assume because my partner and I bring them lots of dogs.

Good luck. Shop around. Each and every vet can charge something different. We have an old time country vet, but with the modern amennities(sp?)

With sedation and for both hip and elbow x-rays my vet charged $225 which is very cheap for this area.  I also have an older dog that I knew had HD - I just wanted to see how bad it was getting.  He offered to do an x-ray without sedation because she didn't handle the sedation well for her puppy x-ray....if he got a good  shot he'd charge me the $85 for the x-ray, if he didn't get a good shot he wouldn't charge me.  He got a great shot for me!

He still pushes annual vaccinations and science diet...but

Other vets in my area quoted me $450+ which seemed way too high - and $575 sounds ridiculous!

I got you beat on the high price. I was quoted $612 for OFA hips and elbows. I'm still looking.

I recently paided $ 375 .00 for a 4 limb set of X-rays ( So. NJ area). This also included a few extra films on an elbow that we were focusing in on.

PeWee Valley Vet Clinic near Louisville, KY charges $240 for the entire Pennhip test, including evaluation fee, sedation, etc.

Vet's name is Gerald Meyer.  They are VERY good.

I think the last OFA hip/elbow/cardiac and patella I got there was $150 or less....but I paid the OFA fees.

anyone know around in North CA../ bayarea

No need to do x-rays....just feed Pedigree Dog Food and hips shouldn't be a problem.
