I'm asking this, on behalf of a friend.

Her boys are about 14 weeks, and when they hit about 6 months old, in just 10/12 weeks time, she wants to be a responsible owner, and get them chopped.

They are "small to middling" in size (Jack-Russ to Staffy size.)

Can anyone give me rough up-to-date prices for a male dog castrate, please?

I was quoted £130 for trixie's "small female spay at Highfield vets.

Her local vet (in the s20/s13 area) is quoting her that amount for a small male castrate, which I am sure is outrageously dear for what is a totally simple a 10 minute chop-op. Times that by the two boys, and it's getting into the realms of the rather pricey.

A male cat chop is only about £30 to £50, generally, AFAIK, (well £30 was what Thiri's boy-cat-chop was priced at, just 10-odd weeks ago) and I'm sure that the cost of a small dog chop shouldn't be more than about 20 quid each more than a cat chop?( £50/55 to 70-ish?)

I look forward to folks' sensible and constructive answers for my friend, who wants to do the best by her boys.

30 quid if you want me to provide the tools (hot needle, towels and air freshner.........o and string)

10 quid if you provide the above! :)

My joker partner his found his way to the pet section feel free to string him up by his balls lol

I know Rspca do it reduced price if your on any benefits

I paid £90 for my JR, that was the op, antibiotics (as a precaution I think), which he took half a tablet for 4 days, and then a follow up app 1 week later

HTH

Thanks for that info, fallen, and thanks for the price information, salllylizzie. That price sounds a lot better and a lot more appropriate/ proportionate, knowing that the male op is a far less invasive, intensive and far cheaper than the spaying op on a female.
