Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much does the first visit to a veterinary hospital cost?
A. The average initial examination fee is 1,500 to 3,000 yen, and the second examination fee is 500 to 1,500 yen. Test and medicine costs are separate from the consultation fee. Depending on the illness, the cost can range from 20,000 to 50,000 yen.
Q. Should I get pet insurance?
A. Medical expenses for dogs and cats are your own expense, and can cost anywhere from 100,000 to 300,000 yen for surgeries, etc. If you purchase insurance for 2,000 to 5,000 yen per month, 70% coverage is common. It becomes more difficult to join as you get older, so consider it while you are young.
Q. What should I do if I suddenly become ill at night or on holidays?
A. It is important to research in advance the "night animal emergency hospital" in your area. Ask your family doctor for advice, or search for "area name + nighttime animal emergency." The price is 2 to 3 times the normal price.
Q. Are there any animal hospitals that speak English?
A. There are English-speaking hospitals in urban areas. You can also search for "English animal hospital area name" or ask for recommendations from the foreign community living in Japan. Using an interpreter app is also effective.
Q. Is vaccination compulsory?
A. Dogs are required by law to be vaccinated against rabies every year. Combination vaccines, flea and tick prevention, and heartworm prevention are not legally required, but are highly recommended.
