Hey everyone! so there have been a lot of complaints in the community and some directly to myself about the costs of veterinary services. I came across an editorial in the Leader Herald newspaper submitted by James Hammond of Hagaman. I completely agree with his points that there are too many miscellaneous and questionable tests added onto a bill when an owner takes their pet to the vet for one reason or another? How can we cut down on these expensive bills and start to cut down the costs? If you are in this position it is a good idea to call the veterinarian ahead of time and get the estimated cost of the procedure you are requesting. Our pets need accurate, affordable, and considerable care just as much as we do. It is our job to make sure they get this care because they cannot speak or fend for themselves. They depend on us for their well being, love and affection. What I'm saying is when faced with one of these expensive bills check with your veterinarian to see if these added on expenses are absolutely necessary so that you can keep the cost affordable while still providing accurate health care for your little buddy!
