say you got insurance and they will milk it............................avoid at all possible.......... :yes:

They are robbibg git's, mine charged me £99 after giving me some Promax [price £8] for a upset stomach knowing if he charged me £100 i could claim on the insurance he sold me :hmm: , buster.

Yeh they are expensive,,, but let's remember your paying for private medicine,,, these guys are doctors and done 7 years I think it is in Uni and training,,,, feck me my washer broke down,, and the geezer that came ,, charged me £ 69 ,,, fecking 5 mins.... And he ain't done all that training,,, with his head in books for years.

 

Think you need a reality check,, how many of you work for yourself,, and what do you charge as a contractor,,, let's not forget there not digging a hole in a road,, or laying a fecking brick,,, these guys are putting flesh and blood back together...

 

Don't get me wrong they do kick the arse out of it sometimes, and some of them ain't much cop,,, but if you get a good one, stick with them,,,, and remember ,,, shop around,,, that's what I do,,,

 

By the way, glennisis said he used ibuprofen ,,, wich is toxic to dogs,,,, should have gone to the vet mate,,,,lol

if thats how you feel tomo , theres alot of professions that take years of training for a shite wage ...................what about nurses putting flesh and skin back together....?

you said a bloke come out an fixed your washing machine for £69 ,...........for 5 mins ,........where did you shop around to get him from..............lol

reasonable fair enough but when you get a pup for its first jabs and all the horlicks its a joke..................alot will fleece everything,.................and especially on medication...............

im not after argument so please dont take me washing machine statement to heart i was just using it as an example.........

All mine are insured - and I still do a lot of stuff myself - stitches etc. Mainly because putting 2 stitches in a small wound ( or glueing it or whatever is needed ) is something I can do without any problem. I personally dont think it is in my dogs best interest to spend the day at the vets and have sedation/anaesthetic to do the same thing. The insurance covers the big stuff, and means if one of them needs xrays or operations etc, then they can add all the extras they like ( fluids, painkillers, etc etc) and the bill is paid by the insurance - and I am not worrying about how to pay the mortgage. One of mine had a tumour removed from his side - the wound broke down, needed restitching etc, and with lab fees, the bill was nearly £3000

They should tell you what they are going to do, and how much it will cost - same as a garage would. If you have agreed for them to do the work, then I can't see you having much come back on not paying. They just love to hear owners say " I don't care what it costs, just make Fluffy better " - not suggesting anyone here does, but you get the drift.
