Hi we are moving to Al-gorfa in 4-6 weeks time. Does anyone know if dog surgery is cheaper in spain or the UK just been quoted £600 to remove 2 x tiny cysts which I think is extortionate it only cost me £90 to have my little shitzhu cross spayed as she is tiny.
If anyone has any advice I would be grateful also if anyone knows of a good vet in the area.
Thanks very much
Alexis and Stuart Elwell
My experience across Southern Spain is that generally prices are cheaper. Much cheaper. However, the Vetinary chains will cost more than an individual practice. I have been to our Vet this morning. Her task to remove grass seeds from the gums of a nervous dog and provide antibiotic. Eight euros total. Visit one or two based on recommendation. Don't worry about a lack of 'Spanish '.

Very helpful member
Vets in the UK incredibly expensive, mostly I think because the majority now have insurance, so they put their arm in, to coin a phrase. I'm presently fighting with my local vets who are trying to charge me £78 for some dog meds that list at £19.93. They didn't even do a consultation as it's a repeat. A few pounds extra? Fair, over three times the price? No.

Hi When you arrive in Spain check out Eduardos in El Galan or Pets World at Los Dolses both provide an excellent service. Good luck Gillian

Hi Alexis,
As you're in Algorfa, I would recommend Benicam in Benijofar. I would also recommend having your woof vaccinated against Leishmaniasis in Spain, as it will be cheaper than the UK. However, if she's less than 5kg, she may be too small to have the jab - the vet will advise.
Kind regards,
Kim
