How much does it cost to spay a dog in India?
Government veterinary college hospitals list Rs 500 to Rs 3,000 for a major operation on a dog, at the nine whose fee pages we read in October 2026. The two private clinics with an online price list charge Rs 6,500 and Rs 9,999 to spay.
Only two government hospitals name the operation. The TANUVAS college hospital in Namakkal lists "major surgery (including spaying and caesarean section)" at Rs 750. Bihar Veterinary College in Patna charges Rs 2,500 for ovariohysterectomy or caesarean section. The rest list only a general major surgery fee, shown here for comparison; ask the hospital how it bills a spay.
NGO hospitals sit in between. VOSD in Bengaluru lists its SafeSpay procedure at Rs 2,999 for adopted Indian dogs and Rs 4,999 for other dogs. The Animal Welfare Society charges Rs 3,000 for a female at its centre in Moinabad, near Hyderabad.
Fee pages and price lists checked 16 October 2026 and rechecked 18 October 2026. Government rows are the hospital's fee for spaying or, where spaying is not named, its major surgery fee. Pages are from different years: Orathanadu fees are as on June 2022, the LUVAS order is undated (PDF created January 2024), The Vet Connect page footer is dated 2022. Medicines and tests are extra at most government hospitals.

What do government veterinary hospitals charge for dog surgery?
Government veterinary college hospitals charge Rs 500 to Rs 3,000 for a major dog operation, plus a registration fee of Rs 30 to Rs 200. They are teaching hospitals run by state veterinary universities, open to any pet owner.
Tamil Nadu has the most rate cards we found, across five TANUVAS hospitals. Namakkal and Tirunelveli charge Rs 1,500 for eye or orthopaedic surgery, and Madras Veterinary College lists specialised surgery at Rs 3,000. LUVAS in Hisar has an undated office order (PDF created January 2024) on its rates. It approves Rs 2,000 for a major operation on a pet for farmers and LUVAS departments, Rs 3,000 for cases from outside agencies, and Rs 100 extra after office hours. The order does not say which rate a private pet owner pays.
Hyderabad's PVNRTVU lists its rates as university proposal charges. Its proposed major surgery fee is Rs 2,000 and laparoscopy Rs 2,500. An in-patient day costs Rs 1,000 and an ICU day Rs 2,000.

Most cities we checked have no published rate card at a government hospital. We found none for Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru or Kerala's university hospitals, so call ahead. A blood test before surgery costs Rs 350 at PVNRTVU, and our vet cost report has more diagnostic fees.
How much does fracture surgery or dental scaling cost for a dog?
At Bihar Veterinary College in Patna, open fracture repair costs Rs 2,500 and a fracture plaster Rs 500. Dental scaling and tooth extraction cost Rs 1,500 each.
Patna is the only government hospital we found that prices these jobs one by one. Its laparoscopic surgery costs Rs 3,000, and a unit of blood for transfusion Rs 2,500, with the owner bringing the donor dog. TANUVAS Namakkal and Tirunelveli charge Rs 1,500 for orthopaedic or eye surgery.

VOSD's June 2026 guide to dog dental costs in India gives Rs 2,000 to Rs 8,000 or more for cleaning. It gives Rs 500 to Rs 3,000 or more per extracted tooth. It calls these general figures, not its own fees. Accidents and fractures are the main reason owners buy cover, which our pet insurance report looks at.
If you own a large breed such as the German Shepherd, ask the hospital whether its orthopaedic fee includes plates, pins or other implants.
What does a private dog spay package include?
Two private clinics publish a dog spay price online: The Vet Connect in New Delhi at Rs 6,500 and Supertails+ in Bengaluru at Rs 9,999. The Supertails+ package includes four vet consultations, a complete blood count and liver and kidney tests (listing seen 18 October 2026).
The Vet Connect lists Rs 6,500 to spay and Rs 5,000 to neuter, on a page whose footer is dated 2022. Its price covers anaesthesia, surgery and disposables, and bills medicines after surgery separately.

Supertails' own Bengaluru pet care guide, published 13 January 2026, gives typical ranges of Rs 4,500 to Rs 9,000 to spay and Rs 3,500 to Rs 7,000 to neuter. Its Rs 9,999 package sits just above that. For a whole first-year budget, see our cost of owning a dog by size report and the Indian Pariah dog guide.
Many cities also expect a sterilised or vaccinated pet to be registered, which is a separate fee covered in our dog registration fees by city report. Grooming and training prices are in our training and grooming cost report.

Methodology and limitations
We read the published fee pages of government veterinary college hospitals between 16 and 17 October 2026 and re-opened every page on 18 October 2026. They are five TANUVAS hospitals in Tamil Nadu, PVNRTVU in Hyderabad, Nagpur Veterinary College (MAFSU), LUVAS in Hisar and Bihar Animal Sciences University in Patna. We recorded the fee for a pet dog at office hours.
Where a hospital lists spaying or castration by name, we used that fee. Where it does not, the spay chart uses its major surgery fee, and the label says so. LUVAS lists two approved rates, Rs 2,000 for farmers and LUVAS departments and Rs 3,000 for outside agencies, and we show both.
For NGO and private providers we used prices on their own websites only. These are VOSD and Supertails+ in Bengaluru, the Animal Welfare Society near Hyderabad and The Vet Connect in New Delhi. Supertails+ prices come from its product listings, seen 18 October 2026. Prices are what the page shows, before any coupon. We left out a home-vet service whose price page was last modified in 2020.
We did not use price figures from blogs or aggregators unless a provider published them. Vetic's and Supertails' own guides are quoted as ranges in the text, not as fees.
