What's the cost of a Petco Thrive vet exam for a dog's lump?

Costs will vary by geographical location. After an initial exam, typically $25-$50, the veterinarian will be able to provide an estimate for services. A fine needle aspirate can be done on the lumps to collect samples for pathology. Once results are received, the lump can simply be monitored or they may need surgical resection. Do not hesitate to request an estimate. Most clinics will provide one as a matter of hospital policy.

Hi there! If you're asking about Vetco clinics, they only do vaccines and wellness care - not visits for illness or medical problems. So you will need to call around to some local full-service veterinary clinics in your area to ask about their exam prices and make an appointment for Lil Bear to be seen. If cost is a concern, you can see if there is a low-cost SPCA clinic in your area that could help, or apply for Care Credit, which is a payment plan accepted by most vet clinics: www.carecredit.com

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!

It is definitely preferable to have records from a previous vet, especially if there are any ongoing medical conditions. Most vaccines are given once per year, so proof isn’t necessary unless it has been less than a year. Exams and vaccines vary in cost depending on your area. In my practice in New York City, they typically end up being about $100 for an exam and two vaccines. I hope this helps!

Most Petco stores do not have vets. The Petco vet clinics that do are called Thrive and you would have to call them directly if you have one near you. ( https://www.thrivevet.com/ ) Petco's vaccination clinics (VETCO) do not do sick exams. Only wellness care. You will have to call a local vet.

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 :)

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!
