Dog: Surgical Vet Visits
Cost: approximately $474
The APPA warns dog owners that their pets will cost even more than cats if surgery at an emergency vet or veterinary clinic is required. Skin ailments and masses are the most common surgical procedures, according to Veterinary Pet Insurance, which advises owners that expensive cancers are also fairly common in dogs. Among the costliest procedures of all, however, are ACL repairs on damaged knees.
