Well Pets holds one surgery day a month at Cicero Veterinary Hospital in Cicero. There are limited spots available so please call our office to make a surgery appointment. We require a deposit when you call to schedule the appointment that is applied to the cost of the surgery. The deposit is non-refundable. We offer pain meds and pre-surgical blood work (pre-surgical blood work should be done at one of our clinics 1-2 weeks before the date of the surgery).

All surgeries include the cost of anesthetic, surgery, hospitalization, and perioperative (during surgery and immediately after). Post-operative pain medication, preoperative blood work, and any additional medical treatments necessary will be an additional cost. Pets with fleas will be treated at the owner’s expense ($28) before being released. All animals must be free of clinical disease (no vomiting, diarrhea, upper respiratory infections, or being significantly underweight) to be eligible for surgery.

Drop off times are between 8 and 8:30 am and pick up is between 3 and 4 pm. Cats that are being declawed must stay in the hospital overnight but can be picked up around noon the following day.

If multiple procedures are being done at the same time, a $25 discount will be applied.

Felv/FIV test prior to surgery: $45

Please note: All cats having surgery must be FeLV/FIV negative (proof of negative test and up to date vaccine for FeLV) or be tested prior to surgery. If the owners wish to decline testing, they must sign a waiver stating they understand that lack of diagnosis of these diseases prior to surgery can lead to serious post-operative complications and a much higher risk of death during or after surgery, and releasing Well Pets of financial and legal responsibility should these events occur.

Retained Testicle: Additional $50-$125 depending on location of testicle and size of pet

Dentals

All dentals quotes require an exam with one of our doctors within 2-3 months of scheduling the dental. Dentals are very hard to get a good quote as we cannot fully tell the extent of what is needed until the tartar is removed from the teeth and we can access the gums and teeth to assess the actual damage. Below are the general rates per level of dental disease.

Situations that may increase the price are extractions, difficulty of the extractions, gingival issues, and length of time for the surgery.

Teeth are graded on a scale of 1-5. Smaller dogs are much more likely to require extractions. All pricing below are general estimates and and may not be exact. 

Grade 1 : $250-$350

Grade 2 with less than 5 extractions : $300-$600

Grade 3 with 5-10 extractions : $400-$900

Grade 4 and 5 with extractions : $800-$1200
