What's the cost to neuter my dog and does he need a flu shot?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 29 days old | 11 lbs

How much would neutering cost? SGVH cost 125. I was told from a local clinic that Influenza shot wasn’t necessary but I’m concerned long term wise it will affect my dog.. Also to register my dog as an ESA where would I need to bring a letter from a therapist/doctor to?

The cost of a neuter is dependent on your location - if there is a full service veterinary hospital in your local Petco you could call for an estimate. Vetco vaccine clinics do not provide this service. Influenza is recommended for dogs who are boarded, groomed or frequently around other dogs. Your therapist would be a better resource regarding registering Benji as an ESA - this designation does not involve veterinarians. I would be very cautious - Benji is quite young and it is probably too early to tell if his temperament would be ideal for an emotional support animal.
