What's the cost of a general vet check-up for my senior 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!

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!

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!

The cost for an exam/vet visit varies widely from vet clinic to vet clinic. Your best option is to call some vet clinics in your area and get prices from them. There is no way for us to know the costs in your area. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Typically this is just a general health exam which ranges based on region anywhere from $45-$70 for mama pet and if you need the puppies examined as well this is an additional exam per puppy. Most places will also offer multiple pet exam discounts, especially for newborns. You can easily get an estimate for an exam from the veterinary hospital you have in mind by giving them a call and inquiring how much an exam costs. As long as your pet doesn't need any additional medications or treatment then this should be the extent of costs expected. Most places will also give an estimate if medications or anything are needed in addition to the exam.

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

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It depends on what you mean by a geriatric panel. If you mean a physical examination, general lab work and chest radiographs which is part of a standard geriatric panel to check general health, that would be anywhere from $300-700 perhaps depending on which clinic you go to but that would be a ballpark. I think that would be a good idea for Jack. Weight loss in an older kitty can be seen with things like chronic kidney disease and hyperthyroidism, among other possibilities. You would be able to check for these with general geriatric tests. Good luck and have a good night!
