Had to go to the vet's today,they have Amalgamated with another vets. And now have a price list behind the counter.I nearly laughed

A bitch spay starts from £189

A castration from about £115

Full consultation is £30.99

2nd is £24? I think it was ,now they used to be free I'm sure.

No wonder they drive decent cars!

and so they should drive good cars. They're professionals with years of training. Some people want everything for nothing?

vets are robbing basterds and pet insurance is nothing but a con , i once needed a c section done and was quoted £650 and £50 a pup if more than four he got told to do one i told him id shoot the dog

The last dog I had PTS cost £36 as I was taking him home, that was approx 4 years ago. Year before last the daughters horse had colic she kept her moving and phoned for the vet, as it happened the vet

they deserve the cash i think,the degree is a massive workload,one of my kids was doing it then dropped out and took a far easier course as he was waking at 2am to study,it burnt him out,i checked out the course before he started,just over 1/3'of those who start the course pass.

I had to get a dog pts last year,long story but he was in pain and wasn't going to live so I said to them just put him down ASAP,they said he'll have to wait for a vet but they loaded him up on painkillers which I agreed to.

 

I asked how much while I waited and it was about £160,too late to take him anywhere else by then so I had to pay,but will never go back there.

I'm convinced they only charged so much because they knew I had no choice.

Year before last the daughters horse had colic she kept her moving and phoned for the vet, as it happened the vet was half a mile up the road at another stables and was with us within 15 minutes as it was on her way home to the practice. She gave the horse an injection, and told her to keep it moving, the price of the medication was what you would expect, but she still got charged a £60 call out fee. If that is not taking the pi$$ then I do not know what is.

I'd guess at about 90% of all vets are robbing anti cnuts IMO, who turn their noses up at working dogs... Fecking vampires that prey on pet owners heartstrings for their own gains, working prices up with the trend in pet insurance...

Totally agree bosun, had a bit of an emergency on a Sunday afternoon so had to go to one of those "specialist" out of hours places.....

They wanted almost £1200 to run tests and alsorts before stitching him up. Hex was made comfortable and I took hm to my vets on a Monday..... Let's just say it was a lot cheaper.

The company in question actually rent the practice from PDSA out of hours from what I can gather and not one of em looked old enough to vote! Lol

£160 to kill your dog....there is something very wrong with that...where is the compassion?

 

My dog got a nasty injury when we were here on holiday before moving, he had a huge sack of fluid between his claws. I got absolutely fleeced for 'emergency' weekend treatment, think it cost around 250-300 quid in total...just so they could take a look and give me antibiotics!
