Answer
Day-to-day costs are minimal since there's no ongoing medication. The expenses cluster around events: surgical pre-planning with fresh frozen plasma adds $300–$800 per procedure, and emergency bleeding episodes requiring transfusions can run $1,000–$3,000+. DNA testing is $75–$150/dog. Good preventive dental care reduces the need for extractions (a common bleeding trigger). Pet insurance taken out before diagnosis typically covers episodic bleeding events. The condition is one of the less expensive genetic disorders to manage because most dogs go long periods without needing intervention. Our vets can help you plan ahead for procedures.
