Do Petco vets need my dog's records for an exam? What's the cost?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The prices for veterinary hospitals vary greatly depending on the area where you live and what type of clinic you are going to (corporate such as Banfield, a private practice or a shelter that has a spay/neuter/vaccine clinic). You could call around to your local options to get pricing for an initial exam and shots, and then would be able to discuss surgical needs during that appointment. Good luck!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A typical check up at a local veterinarian is often in the range of $50-80 for an exam. Bloodwork and vaccines will be an additional cost. The prices vary based on location, and some larger company places such as Banfield or VCA may offer lower prices or even payment plans. I recommend contacting some of the veterinary hospitals in your area to ask around about approximate costs. I hope this is helpful! Glad to hear Punki is still doing so well at 12 years old :)

Unfortunately, there are no veterinary clinics located in Petco stores in your area - yet. You can get vaccinations done at Vetco vaccination clinics, as well as heartworm and flea and tick prevention. Be sure you get Tars in before he is 6 months of age, and he won't need a heartworm test. He should also be dewormed against intestinal parasites. Vetco vaccine clinics don't charge an exam fee, but they will charge you for the vaccinations - here is a link to a map of Petco's in your area with Vetco clinics: chttps://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=60606#maptop . Also, their prices for services are here: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/ . Finally, you can get nail trimming and anal gland expression done at the grooming salon in your Petco, and most of them even offer training. So pick the one that is most convenient for you!

At vetco this should cost you 99$ including deworming as well, a routine exam is included. you can check the full pricing and options here: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I would call your local PetCo that offers VetCo to see if they will do this type of exam. Mist vaccine clinics only do vaccines and not exams or provide records past vaccinations. I would recommend that you find an established Vet for Piper. They will do an exam and fax it to the insurance company when asked. Below are links on what VetCo offers as far as services and locations. Good luck! https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/ https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/

Yes you can bring him to a VetCo clinic for vaccinations, a check up and microchipping if you like. Here is a list of prices and locations: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/. You may also try to find out which vet the former owner used. The vet should have a health record of the dog.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The cost of a physical exam depends on the area where you live. I would suspect $40-50 for an exam. I recommend calling your local veterinarians to get an estimate as we do not perform physical exams on pets through this website. Kisses to Slim!
