Updated March 2026
At Legacy, we believe you should understand the cost of care without feeling confused, rushed, or pressured. We’ve shared some of our everyday prices on the most commonly requested services below so you have a general idea of what to expect.
But just as important as price is the relationship behind the care. Here, your pet is not just a visit, a vaccine, or a procedure. They’re an individual—and the best care comes from knowing them, and knowing you.
A Different Kind of Approach
We’re not a one-size-fits-all clinic, and we don’t pretend every pet walking through our door needs the same thing. We believe in informing you of all your options, not just one path. We’ll sit with you, talk through what we’re seeing, and build a plan around your pet’s actual needs, your comfort level, and your budget. That means pricing may vary slightly depending on what your pet actually needs, not what a template says they should get. We believe that’s a feature, not a fine-print footnote.

Special Surgical Pricing Considerations
Surgical pricing may be adjusted for patients with additional medical considerations, including pregnancy, postpartum status, heat cycle, cryptorchidism, hernias, or pyometra. Final costs are based on patient size and procedural complexity.
While we perform a thorough pre-surgical exam, certain conditions may not be apparent until surgery is underway. If additional findings are identified, our team will make every effort to contact you before proceeding with any changes that would affect cost or treatment.
What’s typically included in all procedures (e.g., spay, neuter, and dental procedures):
- Pre-surgical exam
- IV catheter (except cat neuters)
- IV fluids (except cat neuters)
- Anesthesia and monitoring
- Pain management (in-hospital)
- Dedicated recovery support
- E-collar (included if needed)
Additional items:
- Take-home medications ($30-$45)
Pre-Anesthetic Bloodwork
Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is strongly recommended prior to anesthesia. The panel your pet needs is based on age, anesthetic risk, procedure length, and other factors. Our doctor will discuss the best option for your pet, and prices generally range from $60 to $160. Elderly patients or patients with chronic conditions may require a more extensive panel.
It is up to the discretion of our doctor to decline performing an anesthetic procedure if bloodwork is not performed.
We know that sounds serious—and it is, because your pet’s safety during anesthesia is something we don’t compromise on. But we’ll always walk you through what’s needed and why, so you can make the best decision with clarity and confidence.
Dental Care Prices
Dental Cleaning: $420
Dental care is one of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of your pet’s overall health. Our dental procedures include:
- Pre-surgical exam
- IV catheter
- IV fluids
- Anesthesia and monitoring
- Full oral examination and charting
- Full mouth dental x-rays
- Dedicated recovery support
Why are Dental X-Rays Necessary?
Full-mouth dental x-rays are taken prior to cleaning to evaluate conditions beneath the gum line.
This allows us to identify:
- hidden infections
- bone loss
- fractured or diseased teeth
After the x-rays are reviewed, we proceed with a professional dental cleaning, including scaling and polishing. If additional care is needed (such as extractions or treatment of diseased teeth), we will contact you to discuss findings and recommendations before proceeding.
Additional care beyond cleaning and polishing is not always necessary, but when it is, we’ll walk you through everything clearly so there are no surprises. Our goal is not just a clean mouth, but a healthy one, and that starts with understanding what’s happening both above and below the gum line.
Understanding Pricing Comparisons
We believe in being open about pricing, and we also believe context matters. If you’re calling around or comparing prices, just be mindful that what is quoted over the phone isn’t always the full picture. What’s included can vary from hospital to hospital—things like monitoring, pain control, or support during recovery may or may not be part of that number.
Of course, we want you here, but we encourage you to ask what’s included so you can make a fully informed decision for your pet.
