Just curious,how much does your vet charge for these things?
I know prices are different all over, so am just curious. I took my almost 5-year-old Chihuahua to the vet yesterday. She got a general check-up, her rabies and 5 -way booster, a test for heartworm, Lyme disease, erlichiosis and another tick disease that I cannot think of, had her nails dremeled, her ears cleaned and her teeth scaled and got 2 free samples of Iverheart Max. It cost me $104.00. Cheap or not? Also, how much do you pay for a dog license and do you get a discount if your dog is fixed? I paid $42.50 for two dog licenses and there is no discount for spayed or neutered dogs. Cheap or not?
Wow,Mary,your licenses are really cheap.
BYBs And Crazies Rule - My vet happens to be the best vet in the county. She has diagnosed animals when other vets could not. She has saved several of my pets' lives.. She even treats my box turtles and she has treated wolves,bears,bobcats,llamas,etc. She is extremely intelligent and gives only the finest care to her patients. She is very thorough. One of my cats had what appeared to be an ulcer on one of her eyes.I took her to a vet who was closer.That vet said she had scar tissue from the ulcer and it was healing. Well,it got worse and spread to her other eye.I took her to my vet and she diagnosed her in 2 minutes with eosinophilic keratitis. The treatment was steroid eye drops and my cat's eyes were better in a few weeks. My vet has twin daughters who are geniuses.One is a pediatric oncologist and the other is a teacher. So don't say she does not give quality care just because she does not charge an arm and a leg! I wouldn't take an animal to a vet who did not give
quality care.You don't know what teeth scaling is? She used a dental scaler to get some of the tartar off of her teeth. It was only a tiny amount as the dog is just 5 years old.She does it to any animals that come in for their vaccinations. As long as the animals cooperates,it does not require anesthesia as it is not a regular cleaning.

BYBS - Sorry,but I LOVE my vet and after having tried two others and not being satisfied, I will never go to anyone else. She is also cheaper than anyone in the area except for one vet - the one who misdiagnosed my cat. She's been practicing for 30 years. Another vet who was very cheap in this area was a wonderful old man,he would often not even charge people who couldn't afford it,or he would let you pay what you could afford. My vet gives me a little discount because I have multiple pets and lets me make payments for large bills,which is a Godsend.
But didn't mean to personally attack you, just defending my vet. :)
Also,was not begging for anyone's approval. Don't know where you got that idea.
