mattyg 1,862 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Just been quoted £300 for a front left outside toe on one of my dogs, the toe keeps popping out and is becoming a bloody nuisance, but thought £300 was a bit steep, any thoughts? I'm in the midlands and waiting for a few call backs from other vets. Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dinosaurs 2,035 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 one of mine had to have a toe amputated 2 years ago front foot equivalent to our ring finger got done for £200 but had quotes as high as £500 ?? Ffs. I went to a vets for pets where a quality vet did locom work. They reckon she got paid more than they charged coz they hope to sell you loads of add ons. Good vet in Chesterfield if you dont mind travelling. Pm if you want me to get his no. Atb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pbrookes 450 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I had a back toe taken off my lurcher last year. Cost £200 Inc x-ray and amputation. 2 or 3 visits after to change dressing and remove stitches so £300 not out of the way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyg 1,862 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm in the midlands and my vet actually specialises in greyhound/Lurcher's and knows me very well. Other vets I've called all wanna sign me up and get me in for consultations even when I've told em exact cause. £300 is £300 but no harm in at least shopping around a bit.
