Contact

Use the contact address below to suggest a topic, report a price that differs from a range quoted on this site, or flag an error. Price reports are especially useful when they include the service, the region or metro area, the year, and whether the figure was a quote or a final invoice — those reports feed directly into future range updates. Corrections are welcome and get checked against sources. Medical questions cannot be answered here; a pet’s own veterinarian is the only right address for those.

What to send

Topic suggestions

If a cost question is not covered — a procedure, a species, a regional pattern, a product category worth grading — describe the question in a sentence or two. Suggestions that name a specific cost decision (“what does a dental with extractions actually run for a small dog in a mid-size city”) are more useful than broad ones.

Price reports

The most valuable messages this site receives. Please include:

• The service or product, described specifically (e.g., “canine dental cleaning with two extractions,” not “vet visit”)
• Your region, metro area, or state — city and state is ideal, state alone still helps
• The year of the charge
• Whether the number was an estimate, a quote, or the final paid invoice
• Anything notable about the setting: emergency hospital vs. general practice vs. shelter clinic vs. teaching hospital

Reported ranges do not need to be flattering to anyone. A price that came in well below a quoted range is as useful as one that came in above it.

Corrections

If a page misstates a fact, cites a study inaccurately, or quotes a range that is clearly wrong for its category, say which page and which line. Corrections are checked against sources and, when confirmed, the page is updated. Claims that disagree with a conclusion are not corrections — the standard on this site is whether a claim can be traced to a study, a price, or a calculation, and disagreement with a verdict is fair game for the Watchdog column’s next entry.

What cannot be answered

No medical questions. No triage questions. Nothing that amounts to “is this an emergency,” “what should I give my pet,” or “what is wrong with my dog.” Those questions require an examination, a history, and a licensed professional who is legally allowed to answer them. If a pet is in distress, call an emergency hospital or animal poison control (888-426-4435) rather than sending an email.

Messages asking for a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation will not receive a reply, and that is not a judgment about the sender — it is the boundary that keeps this site a research publication rather than something it is not licensed to be.

Response times

This is a small editorial operation. Corrections and price reports are read first; topic suggestions are collected and reviewed periodically. Replies are not guaranteed, but every correction and price report is read.

Advertising and partnership inquiries

Inquiries about advertising or affiliate programs should reference the disclosure page first. Products that fail the evidence standard do not receive coverage or links, and that does not change based on a partnership inquiry.

Please put the relevant category in the subject line — “price report,” “correction,” or “topic suggestion” — so the message is routed quickly.
