From Time Media:

Spay surgery for female dogs is important for controlling pet population and provides health benefits like lower cancer and infection risks. Costs can vary widely, ranging from free to over $500. Factors affecting cost include size, age, breed, location, and additional services like blood work and vaccinations. Neutering costs less than spaying and factors that can raise the cost of spaying include booking deposit, biohazard disposal fee, pre-existing medical conditions, and pregnancy. Ways to save on spay surgery include checking local animal shelters, searching for low-cost clinics, looking for spay-a-thons, applying for financial aid, checking veterinary colleges, and considering payment plans.
