Pet care costs by state — the three published state tables
Procedure prices are national ranges on this site because that is how the sources publish them — but three published datasets are genuinely state-level: average routine visit costs (Lemonade/Banfield), emergency exam fees (CareCredit/Synchrony), and median insurance premiums (Insurify). All three are combined here, state by state, each column labelled with its source in the guides that reproduce the full tables.

The extremes tell the geography story: a routine visit averages $89 in California against $63 in Kansas; an emergency exam for a dog averages $241 in Hawaii against $108 in Mississippi; a median dog insurance premium runs $66/mo in Alaska against $32/mo in Alabama and Mississippi. Five states get their own pages, where Pawlicy's independent state averages sit next to these tables: California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois.
