More on Corporate Vets

[1Chumly]

There is a new one opening near me and I checked their prices. I just had Bordatella and Leptospirosis for my Doxie as he has to go to daycare for one day. COMBINED they cost me $44. Check out the prices at this place!
(It defaults to NC but the prices are the same for TX)

Oh yes , "WE love pets" We know we can rip off their parents because most of them will do or pay anything for their babies!! Enjoy your ski vacation to Vail on our dollars!

It’s so infuriating… I get the need to pay bills too but the prices are outrageous and one of the reasons a lot of animals are in shelters

Wow! Those are outrageous! I noticed that our local Tractor Supply does vaccinations once a month. Not sure which ones other than rabies that they provide but I'm told it's very reasonable in cost. Several years ago, our Petco used to do the same thing plus worming, everything for $55 per dog.

A lot of small Vet practices are being gobbled up by the big players in the Corporate Pet Care Industry. This reduces competition. This increases prices. The price increases make owning a single pet a luxury. It's criminal, IMO.

This is like the big giants Costco, Home Depot, Walmart etc are all eating the small businesses. Why it’s important you stick with your locals

I was amazed when I saw the cost of just an office visit. Just about all of the vets around me, including my bulldog vet, charge $60 - $65. This place "starts" at $99!!!!
Daylight robbery! Needless to say, they will not be seeing my dog!
