The 10 states with the highest veterinarian costs!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

14. My friends just spent $11,500 on their 14 year old dog.

It started with a slipped disc surgery for $7500 and then another $4000 for the kidney complications from the surgery.

I don't blame them though. The dog is in otherwise good health. You just don't want to put him down for something correctable - if you can afford it.

We just spent $360 bucks for a few shots and a "bi annual senior check up" - the dog sees doctors more than me.

If they ranked it by city I'm sure Chicago would be on the list. I feel like prices have doubled in the 14 years we've had our girl.

A buddy of mine has the right idea. He says next pet he gets will see vets up in northern Wisconsin where he has a cottage. He says the vets there charge a fraction of the cost compared to Chicago.
