Most vets are major rip offs
Unemployed? Consider selling Dog Biscuit.
Our Vet at least dispenses medicine for our two dogs at
very little profit to himself. A number of OTC things at least wound up costing more at
COSTCO, for God’s sake.
“Most vets are major rip offs”
Right you are al.
There is a trend today towards increasing profits at the expense of pets IMO. We encountered this new trend in the ‘90’s, and here is what we saw.
Old time Veterinarians we knew that could feel the animal, discern hot spots that could tell them precisely what the animal needed all of a sudden couldn’t be done anymore. NOPE, now all of a sudden the Vet that could look at the animal in the eye, and tell me such, and such a medicine would fix the little critter’s ailment yesterday now requires a $250.00 blood test, or urine test today.
Now they had to hold the animal over night to monitor it’s behavior, and of course run up costs to the owner of the pet.
What used to cost an office visit, and a prescription drug, now is the office visit, the second office visit when you return for your pet as well the cost of the monitoring over night, the tests that were run, and on, and on the list goes.
We searched and found an old time Vet that still practices the way he did over the many years, and we keep our costs down that way. We are back up now to 17 cats as we just took in a mother cat, and her two kittens so we can get them speyed, all females, four dogs, down to two horses, and the one Donkey we have left.
That’s what we encountered. The Vets are now hustlers for the big bucks.
The Vet we had been going to now owns a chain of Veterinary Hospitals since he started placing revenue over the Pets comfort, and health
Not mine, the guy is a saint.
