How Much Does TPLO Surgery Cost for a Dog?

The cost of TPLO surgery in Melbourne can range from $3,000 to $8,000 AUD, but what’s included in that price varies greatly between clinics. Lower-cost options often do not include essential services such as blood tests, X-rays, rechecks, or post-operative medications, which can lead to unexpected additional costs.

At Sandringham Veterinary Hospital, we provide a fully inclusive TPLO surgery package for $4,000 AUD, ensuring your dog receives the highest standard of care with no hidden fees.

What’s Included in Our TPLO Surgery Package?
