🛡️Every cat vaccine we give is non-adjuvanted.

A note about pricing. The prices above cover our most commonly requested services. Other surgical procedures (mass removals, foreign-body retrieval, orthopedic, and similar) are quoted individually after an exam, since the final cost depends on your pet’s size, age, health, and what’s needed. Prescription medications and any additional services recommended during a visit are not included. Prices are subject to change — please call us at (310) 776-5544 if anything you need isn’t listed.

Pricing FAQ

Common questions about our pricing

Straight answers about what things cost and what is included. If you have a question we did not answer, ask Rex or call (310) 776-5544.

What does a routine wellness exam cost at Paw Priority?

A general wellness exam is $89 for both dogs and cats. It includes a full head-to-tail physical, a discussion of any concerns you have, and a customized plan for vaccines, diagnostics, and preventive care.

How much does a dog dental cleaning cost?

Our standard dog dental cleaning starts at around $700 and includes full-mouth digital x-rays, ultrasonic scaling above and below the gumline, polishing, and monitored anesthesia. Extractions typically add $75 to $250 per tooth. See our full breakdown on the dog dental cost article.

Do you offer any membership pricing?

Yes. Our VIPP membership starts at $399 per year and includes an annual exam, discounts on vaccines and diagnostics, and priority scheduling. See our membership page for details.

Are your prices the same for cats and dogs?

For most services yes. Vaccine prices are broken out by species on our prices page since dogs and cats need different vaccines. Weight-based services (like some medications and cremation) scale with weight regardless of species.

Do you accept pet insurance?

We do not directly bill any pet insurance company. You pay us at the time of service, we provide a fully itemized invoice, and you submit it to your insurance for reimbursement. Most modern plans reimburse quickly.

What is your policy on unexpected charges?

We do not add charges without discussing them with you first. If we find something during an exam that changes the plan, we call, text, or step out to talk through it before doing anything. No surprises on the invoice.
