Comprehensive Fecal: $58.85
Fecal examinations are an important component of the routine exams for canines. It is important to perform these tests in a manner that maximizes detection of parasitic infections. We perform both a fecal float and a direct smear for comprehensive analysis. This will screen for the following: Giardia, coccidia, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, etc.

Deworming (oral): $26.65
We offer deworming with PPO. This product is a one dose treatment for hookworms, roundworms, whipworms and tapeworms. We recommend a follow up dose in 3 weeks for maximum efficacy.

Tapeworm injection: $26.75
Tapeworms are contracted from fleas. If your dog has had a flea problem, it is likely that they also will have a tapeworm problem. If adequate flea control is achieved, then only one injection should clear up the problem. If fleas remain a problem, it is likely that tapeworms will return.

Ear Mite treatment/diagnosis: $25
Ear mites live on blood. We give an injection of ivermectin to kill all mites on the body. Topicals often only kill the mites in the ears. It is important to treat all animals in contact with an infected animal and to follow up with treatment 2 weeks later. Treating the environment is also beneficial if possible.

Mange diagnosis/treatment: $25-200
We can diagnose and treat sarcoptic and demodectic mange. The treatment varies widely with severity and type. We must see your dog to give an accurate estimate.

Canines can contract parasites from eating directly off the ground, drinking out of puddles, grooming, and from other things.

Canine heartworm test: $52.70
For heartworm testing in dogs, we run a blood test to check for specific heartworm proteins, called antigens, which are released by adult female heartworms. We also screen the blood under a microscope to check for early stages of the heartworm, otherwise known as microfilaria. We run both tests because a dog can have a negative antigen result even if heartworms are still present. This can be due to an infection less than 6 months, all male worms or a long standing infection.

Both tests are done in-house. All positive heartworm tests are sent to an outside lab, free of charge, to confirm the exact antigen level which determines how severe the heartworm disease is in your pet. Based on the antigen level and your dog specifically, we can come up with the best treatment plan for you and your pet. We also send out any negative tests for confirmation where we suspect that the test is inaccurate in house, such as a dog from a shelter, older dogs in heartworm endemic areas, etc.

Before treating your dog, we want to be absolutely sure that we have all the information needed for successful treatment.

Heartworm prevention is available for dogs that test positive.

We are excited to offer Seresto collars for fleas. These offer 8 months of both flea and tcik protection. Normally, we do not recommend flea and tick collars because they are usually not effective. The Seresto collar is made by Bayer, a leader in flea and tick control. We highly recommend this collar. This is not good if your dogs chew on each other’s collars.

Adult fleas live on your canine and contaminate the animal’s environment with immature flea stages. Look for black specks on your pet to determine if your pet has fleas. If you are still seeing fleas after treatment, you will need to treat your house as well. You need to treat all pets in the house at one time for it to be effective.

Dewclaws are the claws located above the foot. They are the “thumbs”. Most dogs do not have rear dewclaws and they can be a problem, especially if the nails are not trimmed regularly. Certain breeds, such as Great Pyrenees always have rear dewclaws.

Varies according to severity

Budget Vet offers ear cropping for dogs. This is a controversial procedure. Budget Vet’s stance is this – as long as this procedure is legal, we offer it to try to prevent ‘backyard’ ear croppings that are unsanitary and often done without any anesthesia or pain medication. The procedure is painful. We provide pain medication and a sterile environment in which to do the procedure. The owner of the dog must understand that their dog will experience discomfort following the procedure for 1-2 weeks.

The price range varies depending on the breed and size of the dog.

******The procedure produces the best results when done between the ages of 9wks to 4 months. Dogs over 4 months will experience excessive hemorrhage and greater chance of infection.*******

Pitbull/Schnauzer/Min Pin crop: $615.25 (<25lbs) $668.75 (25-35lbs) $722.25 (>35lbs)

Doberman/Great Dane: $802.50

Boxer: $668.75

Dobermans/Boxers and Great Danes may require repeated bandaging because the cuts are longer and may not stand right away. Must be done by 12 weeks to stand!

Ear crop price includes e-collar, pain medication, surgery, anesthesia, Capstar flea treatment, nail trim, bandaging as needed, and rechecks. Not all crops require bandaging or rechecks. This is a cosmetic procedure and there is no guarantee that the outcome will be as planned. All dogs have unique ears. No refunds will be issued for cosmetic reasons.

For all ear crops, a deposit of $150 is required for booking an appointment and is NON-REFUNDABLE.

May detect pregnancy as early as 20 days canines. The Relaxin is secreted primarily by the placenta and is a reliable indicator of pregnancy. $80.25.
