Just been quoted £70 to have a bitch scanned to see if shes having puppies, god its gone up a lot, the last time i had this done 3 years ago it was only £25, do you think this is a bit much or is this the going rate now ? 

Seems a huge amount to me :-( Can't remember, but ... I think last year for a scan at my vet was £35.

£25 from my vet.

£35 from my vet and 2nd is free if no pups seen.

£20 from m,y vet 2nd free £10 there after......I only paid £20 to a canine ultrasound specialist, seems an awful lot

I was quoted £30 at my vets , and my friend was quoted £69 at theirs ... they are only 2 miles apart and both have new 'state of the art' scanners ( so they say !!!! )

last time I had a bitch scanned it was from Keith Shea and cost me £30 for him to come to me.

I've just had it done for £50, which is higher than last time about a year ago :-( but, I needed it doing as I could then pay the stud fee...and I know that she's expecting 4-5 pups, which is great.  If I'd paid the fee up front or using my own dog I prob wouldn't have it done now it's that price..and just see what happens partic with the bigger dogs, with the smaller ones it's useful to know if there's lots or just one or two (may need c-section if a few big pups!)

in 2007 it was £48

Thanks everyone for your help i am  going to get her scanned regardless of cost, it was interesting to find out how the price varies from different vets, thanks.

I used Keith at the end of last year and paid £30

£33 at my vets

we pay £20 your quote sounds alot...

Does anyone know if keith can do the image print outs of the ultra sound like some others do?

£39 with my vet - no print out,but at the time i didnt care as we were convinced she was not in whelp - could have kissed my vet and he could have charged me anything! lol

Keith scanned my girl last monday £35 for him to come out,not sure about images as we had no pups!

sorry to hear that polly :(

Was really looking forward to this litter,I used my own boy who is last of my line.

So sorry to hear that.

Will you try again on her next season?

Never heard of Keith giving you the scan images, we use him all the time, good luck with your litters

Sorry to hear that Polly x

we paid £40  last week with the option of a free follow up  scan  at 8 weeks.

my vet wanted to charge us £52 and he said we couldn't stay with her or be present at the scan and we had to leave her there for 2 hours and go back for her, i was not happy about this so now have an appointment booked with a private scanner next week and thats £25

my sheep scanner charged £20 and she was spot on as she usualy is
