Veterinarians — 8,587 trusted facilities

A routine vet visit costs $50–$250; an emergency visit can run $1,500–$5,000+ after diagnostics and treatment. Cost depends on the visit type, your city, and the clinic. PetSoMo lists veterinary clinics — general practice, urgent care, and emergency — across 5,500+ U.S. cities.

What a vet visit costs

A wellness exam runs $50–$100, core vaccinations $75–$150, spay/neuter $200–$700, and dental cleaning $300–$1,200. Emergency exam fees start at $100–$300 before treatment. Diagnostics (bloodwork, X-rays, ultrasound) are where bills grow — ask which tests change the treatment plan.

Where to go when

Use general practice for routine care and mild illness, urgent care for same-day non-emergencies (20–40% cheaper than an ER), and emergency hospitals for trauma, bloat, toxin ingestion, or breathing trouble. Independent clinics are usually the best value for routine care.
