I'm struggling with this.  The vets I have phoned either dont do it or have quoted £10 per pup plus VAT.
We have a litter due mid September - 6 pups will be £70.50

My puppies will have the best start in life whatever the cost. How dare you suggest otherwise, you know nothing about me or my dogs. I have arranged to have the dew claws removed whatever the cost thank you very much.

Oh im sorry i must of got the wrong message from your post, you said you were "struggling" and also quoted the price you would have to pay you also said "The vets I have phoned either dont do it or have quoted £10 per pup plus VAT" so what does "or have quoted £10.00 per pup plus vat" mean? too much too little? glad you have arranged to have them removed good luck with your litter

Thanks , the struggling was referring to my local vets not doing it and travelling a fair way with the pups really and the vet who quoted £10 per pup said he didnt really want to do it which doesnt fill one with great confidence.

It doesnt bother me what the cost is, if it has to be done for the long-term benefit of the pups so be it. I have now found a vet that will do it in a reasonable travelling distance.

When you are planning a litter,you must think about the cost of having a litter,for example if the bitch needs a caesarean which could be about £300-£400 or theres about,dew claws,feeding the pups once weaned, or if Mum can't feed the pups herself,feeding the Mum extra,worming,registering the pups,if you can't find homes for the pups,then feeding costs etc..advertising the pups,if they are not already spoken for.All this needs to be considered.

Everything that you mention has been considered. This litter has been planned for, for well over a year, the choice of stud dog the result of months of research and decision making.
