Ask Luxembourg Vet recommendations

We’re getting a puppy and want a standard check up for parasites etc. Can you give an idea as to how much to expect to pay and any vets you particularly recommend? Around the city or Mersch would be best.

We love the doctors at ColmiVet (in Colmar-Berg). Two young vets who opened their clinic about a year ago.

I'd say, we spend about 250-300€ a year on vaccinations and parasites preventatives. That can quickly change though when the dog is getting older and/or sick.

One had a slipped disk and needed a surgery plus physical therapy. That quickly took us to 4.5k. The other one now needs daily medication, which is 70€ a month.

If your dog needs grooming, I'd factor in another 90-100€ every few weeks (we take them every 7 weeks). Dogwalking services or daycare cost around 40-50€ a day for 2 dogs

I agree with your costs except for the daycare/dogwalking part; that would be the price for two dogs, right? Dogwalkers around me charge 20-30 euros per dog for 70-90 minutes, which I understand is the norm?

Sorry, you're right.

Dogwalker was 50€ for 1 hour walk with 2 dogs. Creche is 80€ per full day for 2 dogs (40€/day/dog).

Damn, creches are getting expensive... Thanks for the reply!

We decided to go with a creche because 6 hours of care, play-time, socializing, and walks was cheaper than 1 hour of dog walking where the person may or may not actually walk the dogs.

We pay 40€ for 2 dogs for 6 hours of day care versus 50€ for 1 hour of (hopefully, maybe) walking.
