Hi,

I have a 6 month old cat and I've been taking it to Urban Pet Hospital in downtown Vancouver. But, I'm starting to think it might be quite a bit more expensive than other places - just because it's downtown.

I dropped her off at the vet today and spay was estimated at $340 before tax and I decided to get the microchip just incase even though she's an indoor cat for $40. Now that's not bad, but I just got another call saying she has a broken canine and needs an xray to make sure there is no pulp exposure which adds up to $500 and would total $720 if the tooth needs to be extracted...

Last time I took her in to get looked at because she had a dilated eye it cost me $180 with eye medication and syringe/antibiotics. Not sure if these prices are usual or not, but they sure are adding up!

Just out of curiousity - to other cat owners, where do you take your cat?

This is my first purebred persian. (Got from a friend for free) My old cats (mutt cats) never had any problems and only had to go to the vet to get fixed.
