Non-profit RexVet reviewed published 2025-2026 vet pricing across its three licensed states and released free cost guides on spay/neuter, vaccines and exams.
MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Routine veterinary care costs pet parents in New York roughly 20% more than it costs their counterparts in Florida and Virginia, according to a review of published 2025-2026 pricing data released this week by RexVet (Rex Vets Inc.), the 501(c)(3) non-profit veterinary telehealth service licensed in all three states.
Drawing on the 2025 Synchrony/CareCredit veterinary cost study, 2025-2026 consumer pricing guides from Rover and Chewy, and live retail vaccine-clinic price lists, RexVet’s guides find:
– Spay/neuter: the average dog spay runs about $448 in Florida and $441 in Virginia – but $538 in New York. Dog neuters average $479 (FL), $473 (VA) and $575 (NY), against a $487 national average (2025 Synchrony/CareCredit study).
– Exam fees: the average dog exam is about $45 in Florida, $71 in Virginia and $72 in New York – charged on top of any vaccine or procedure at most private practices (Rover, 2025).
– Vaccines: most individual dog vaccines run $15-$100, and a puppy’s complete first-year series typically costs $100-$300 or more before exam fees. Even at retail vaccine clinics, the same rabies shot lists at $39 in Orlando, $41 in Richmond and $45 in Manhattan.
“Pet parents tell us they feel the cost of care before they feel anything else – and the same surgery can cost a Brooklyn family a hundred dollars more than a family in Tampa or Richmond,” said Dr. Tiffany Delacruz, DVM, CEO of RexVet. “As a non-profit, our job is to make the numbers transparent, point families to legitimate low-cost programs in their county, and keep our own price flat: a $64.99 video visit, whether you’re in Florida, New York or Virginia.”
The guides also catalog verified low-cost options in each state – including county spay/neuter programs in Miami-Dade and Hillsborough, the ASPCA’s free and $125 surgeries for qualifying New York City residents, and Fairfax County’s $20 rabies clinics – while noting that eligibility and availability change and should be confirmed directly.
All three guides are free to read at rexvet.org:
– How Much Does It Cost to Spay or Neuter a Dog or Cat in 2026?
– How Much Do Dog Vaccinations Cost in 2026?
– How Much Does a Vet Visit Cost in 2026?
