How we rank

For each place we take the lowest price it publishes for a cat or dog spay or neuter, then use the middle one in each area (the median). An area is ranked once at least 4 places there publish a price; with fewer, one clinic would decide the result. Packages, add-ons and deposits are left out, and dog prices usually rise with weight, so a large dog costs more than the typical figure. Places that don't publish prices are not counted. Prices change, so confirm when you call.
