Cost??

[MeanV2]

This is just a question I am asking out of curiousity and I most certainly will have all this done when the times comes, but approx. what is the cost in having Hips OFA'd, Elbows OFA'd, Eyes CERT, and Heart checked??
Thanks ahead of time!!

it varies by region/area and vets for some of these tests.
where i work, OFA hips and elbows done awake is about 220.00 including ofa fee of 40.00.
i have heard of anywhere from 250.-350.00 in areas around here.

CERF can run from 25-45 dollars for the exam and i believe is either 10 or 15 for CERF.
CARDIAC can run 30-55 for exam and i think is 15 for ofa.

for exact ofa fee and cerf fee see their website. the cost of the vet exam can vary. at shows, if offered, they can be less for eye and cardiac exams.(since they are doing various at a time at shows).

This is an approximation without going through files and looking this up.


Elbows/Hips =250.00
Eyes =100.00
Heart (echo cardiogram) =350.00
Thyroid (full panel) = 75.00

Plus the fees to get them filed with OFA

Fees will vary depending upon the veterinarian and your locale.

If you go on the OFA website they list a bunch of health clinics. The cost is much cheaper. I have been to several of them.
