Of course when you first get a pet it can be quite a bit more, I think I paid around 350 to get her desexed and microchipping is about 500. Or it was 4 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if it has become more standard now.

But it's also possible to buy a puppy/kitten from a shelter who has already had all that done, usually for between 50 to 150 dollars and that's a good option for a lot of people wanting a new pet.
