I got various quotes between $300-$800 for the procedure. Not exactly regulated there. Also there isn't anything on their website which talks about a fee schedule that I could find.

It's not that simple. Factors that influence cost include the type of monitoring equipment the clinic uses, provision of fluids, antibiotics and painkillers, the type of drugs used for premed and anesthesia, drugs used intraoperatively to stabilize the animal, whether or not there is a dedicated assistant for anesthesia etc. Clinics use a variety of different combinations and some are far safer (but more expensive) than others.
