Edina Pet Hosp.: Bargain Heartworm Tests, Pricy Spaying and Neutering

Families often love their pets like children—but also like children, they can be expensive.

A Tuesday KARE 11 report shined a spotlight on one of the pricier aspects of pet ownership: vet bills. The TV station compared prices of seven procedures at eight clinics in the Twin Cities, along with one in St. Cloud and another in Mankato.

Edina Pet Hospital looked good when it came to heartworm tests. The facility’s $30.46 was the lowest among the clinics on the list.

On the other hand, it was the highest for spays and neuters of both dogs and cats. Edina Pet Hospital charges $650 dollars to spay a 70-pound dog and $400 to neuter a cat.
