National price distribution
Statistics use current publishable observations that passed the stats-eligible gate. From-prices are counted separately and are not used for the median unless the row is comparable.

Methodology
This guide uses source-backed current prices from the CompareVetPricing dataset snapshot dated 2026-05-05. Rows must be publishable and stats-eligible before they are used in medians or ranges. Prices can change, clinical recommendations vary, and this page is a comparison aid rather than a quote.
