Methodology

Figures are Australia baselines scaled by this breed's size class where the cost depends on weight (anesthesia, drug volume, surgical time). They're planning estimates, not quotes — your clinic, city and your dog's specifics move the number. Full detail on the methodology page.

Prices vary widely by region and clinic. Use this as a baseline and confirm with your vet.
