The veterinary school is rated number one in the world. Not the US, the world. No surgery is going to have a small bill obviously. What's nice here is everything is done in-house. You don't have to wait for labs that are sent out or try to go and see specialists that are hard to book. You can get one consult after another all in the same day and blood tests are read within minutes. And in the end that makes it cost less because you're not paying for a bunch of different exam and lab fees. The people doing ultrasounds and radiology are highly certified and do a much better job than at other places. When I look at my bills the individual cost of things are less than at a private vet. But they do so many things that it's never a small bill. I've been going here for years and have never felt dissatisfied or questioning whether they did the best job. When the local vets are stumped they send you to UC Davis. They can give you an estimate.
I had an emergency need for my llama and ended up at UCD. I felt the quality of care was outstanding and the associated cost was beyond reasonable. Cant imagine there is a better place to take your furry family member in need of quality care at a more than reasonable price.
You should contact the hospital directly to get the answer you are looking for
They won't give you a price until your animal is seen......I wish I could say they would but they won't. I spent $5000 on my cat and still don't have a confirmation of his true diagnosis. Good luck.
