How much does spaying a puppy cost? Are $300-500 prices reasonable?

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 22 days old | 25 lbs

Hi! I was wondering what the average cost to get a 25 pound 5 month old female puppy spayed. I have called about 10 vets and they are all around $300-$500. What is the average? And is it worth it too keep looking or to drive to a less expensive clinic?

That is about the average to get a puppy Miami's sized spayed. I can give you a link to find a low cost clinic in your area, but I think those prices you were quoted are reasonable and fair for a spay :-) http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962
