By using costcalculator.pet ("the site"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. They're written to be readable, not to trap you.
Informational use only
Everything on this site — including the calculators, cost ranges, breed guides, and procedure pages — is general information for cost-planning purposes only. It is not veterinary, medical, financial, or legal advice, and it is not a substitute for professional care. For decisions about a specific pet, talk to your veterinarian. In an emergency, contact your vet or the nearest 24-hour animal hospital.
About the estimates
Pet costs vary widely by location, breed, individual health, and provider. Our figures are ranges built from public data (AVMA cost-of-care surveys, pet-insurance filings, published veterinary pricing, and similar sources described on our methodology page). They are estimates, not quotes or guarantees. Actual costs you experience may be higher or lower.
No warranties
The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability. We work to keep the numbers current and correct, but we can't guarantee the site is error-free.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Price of a Pet and its contributors are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its content. You use the information here at your own discretion and risk.
Advertising and affiliate links
The site is supported by display advertising and a small number of affiliate relationships. Some outbound links (typically to pet-insurance providers) are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is disclosed in our Affiliate Disclosure, and it does not change our editorial conclusions.
Intellectual property
The site's text, design, and original graphics are the property of The Price of a Pet. You're welcome to link to our pages and quote short excerpts with attribution. Please don't republish pages wholesale or scrape the site without permission.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms. We'll revise the "Last updated" date when we do.
