It's used to diagnose IBD, retrieve swallowed foreign objects, obtain GI biopsies, and evaluate chronic vomiting or diarrhea. Costs range from $800–$2,500 depending on the procedure complexity and whether biopsies are taken.

Dear Pet Owner,
Looking for dog endoscopy? Costs can vary significantly between clinics. One clinic may charge $800 while a specialty practice might charge $2,500. Both may offer quality care — the key is knowing your options.
Foreign object retrieval via endoscopy ($800–$1,500) is far cheaper and less risky than surgical removal ($2,000–$4,000). Endoscopy with multiple GI biopsies for IBD diagnosis costs $1,000–$2,500. Available at specialty hospitals and some well-equipped general practices.
Pre-procedure fasting, general anesthesia, endoscopic procedure, biopsies (if taken), pathology fees for biopsy analysis, and post-procedure recovery.
