Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This will depend on which clinic you go to. However, a complete set of vaccinations, a neuter surgery and microchip would probably at the end be a few hundreds dollars ($300-500). Again that will very variable on the state you are and the clinic you go to. Usually baseline general labwork will be performed which could help identify any issues he may have. Good luck and have a great day!

    Best route is to take Dusk into a vet for a health check! This will let you know if everything is in good health. An office visit for that is typically around $45-55 depending on the area you live in and clinics in that area because prices vary. It's hard to give an exact price estimate. I can put a link below to the Vetco prices will give the information on vaccine costs as well as microchip costs and deworming treatments.

    You can follow the link below for pricing on vaccines. The microchipping will cost $19. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/ You will need to contact a local clinic or find a spay/neuter clinic for pricing on a spay. It can cost anywhere between about $100 and $500 or more. Declawing is not done much anymore, so you'll need to call around to find a veterinarian that will perform the procedure. Cost will vary by geographic location and by clinic.
