You’ve probably seen an inspirational story or video on social media about a dog who’s living their best life, even with a missing limb (or two). Their capabilities may warm your heart, but facing your own pup’s leg amputation might take some time to come to terms with.
If a vet recommends a limb amputation for your furry friend, it can feel scary picturing their new life as an amputee. But sometimes, it’s the best decision for your dog’s overall health.
Dog leg amputation costs will vary depending on where you live, the dog’s size, and whether the dog needs their front leg or hind leg amputated. The price ranges anywhere from $1,000 – $2,000, but it can be less expensive for smaller dogs.
