The Story of Our Prices (and Why They Sometimes Go Up)
We've never enjoyed raising prices, and we've written an apology every single time we've had to. Rather than bury those posts, we've collected the whole history here in one place — because the most honest thing we can show you is exactly what changed, when, and why.
The goal of Precision has always been the same: break even, not turn a profit. We don't take outside investment and we don't answer to shareholders. When our costs go up — suppliers, lab fees, rent, wages — we eventually have to follow, or we can't keep the doors open. When they hold steady, so do our prices. Here's the timeline.
Where prices stand today (November 2025)
- Cat spay/neuter: $85
- Dog spay/neuter: from $270 — with a $75 rescue discount ($195) for dogs adopted through a 501(c)(3) rescue, shelter, or humane society
- Routine wellness exam: $55 · Medical-concern exam: $75
- Core vaccines (Rabies, DHPP/FVRCP): $17.50 · Bordetella & Leptospirosis: $25
- Dentals: $275–$825 depending on grade
New prices took effect Monday, November 17, 2025. As always: if you'd already scheduled, you got the price quoted at the time you booked. And if a price increase ever puts care for your pet out of reach, please reach out — between our Spay It Forward fund and the organizations on our Financial Aid page, we'll do our best to find a way.
2025 — a few targeted increases
Unlike the year before, we were able to avoid a wholesale increase across the board. Instead, a few key services moved: cat surgeries to $85, dog surgeries starting at $270 (rescue rate $195), exams up $5, and vaccines nudged slightly (core vaccines $17.50, Bordetella and Lepto $25).
2024 — keeping pace after two years
We made it two years since the previous increase. As supplier notices about higher rates piled up, we held out as long as we could, then raised most things 3–10%: cat surgeries to $80, dog surgeries starting at $260 (rescue rate $185), lab work up about $5, wellness exams to $50, medical-concern exams to $70.
2022 — the inflation year
This was the one we didn't expect to do so soon. Groceries were running 2–3× the prior year, gas had doubled, rent was unrecognizable, and nearly every supplier had roughly doubled their prices citing global supply-chain issues. Cat spay/neuter went to $75 regardless of size (we genuinely mourned retiring the kitten discount), and dog surgeries to $250 — introducing the $75 rescue discount that's still with us today. We built this clinic specifically to help rescues and humane societies get as many animals as possible into adoptable shape.
2021 — the first one, after three years flat
We held our prices static from opening in 2018 all the way to Labor Day 2021. When we finally had to move, it was about $5 on most items ($10 on surgery and a few underpriced services). To soften it we added a $10 discount for kittens under 4 lbs (faster, smoother surgeries), and we split out a 5th dental grade so we wouldn't have to raise the others — our Grade 4 procedures had been taking anywhere from 3–6 hours, which was a ridiculous range for a single price.
That's the whole story, start to finish. We'll keep updating this page whenever prices change, so there's always one honest place to see exactly where things stand — and where they've been.
