I just treated a dog for around $250, which is probably the cost of the Immiticide itself. This was a very nice vet who cares and does not charge an arm and a leg for treating rescue dogs. I had vets flat out lie to me by telling me that the Immiticide costs $600 (this was over 7 years ago), which is definitely not true. Unfurtunately veterinary medicine is a business and you will need to shop around to find quality treatment for a reasonable cost. I find that what you were quoted is excessive. I have treated 20+ dogs and I did lose a wonderful young dog to a reaction to the Immiticide, he suddenly developed massive bleeding from the lungs, 2-3 weeksa fetr the treatment. After that experience I personally would opt to treat my own dog with Heartgard.
