Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about Rocky's ACL injury. The cost for a surgical repair of a torn ACL can range from $1500-$3500, depending on your location and the veterinarian you use. A specialist at a orthopedic practice that has done hundreds of these surgeries will probably be at the higher end of this range, but they will have the most experience. Being that Rocky is a young dog, his chances of recovering well are higher than with some older dogs, so some things will cost less (e.g. the vet may not require an IV catheter). I hope this helps, and that Rocky gets better soon! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
