[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 540878, member: 84"] Oh, my! How far do you go out looking? I'm an hour away from 3 major cities (dayton, cincy, and columbus)........think of them as a triangle and I'm sort of right in the middle of that triangle. If you live in those cities........holy smokes vets are outrageous. I hated having a pet in dayton due to it.....which is why I learned to do my own shots ect. It's so high, in fact, Nichole brought her cats down to my vet to be spayed and declawed because it was tons cheaper. And all the vets up there wanted a long drawn out vet record for shots ect before they'd even consider the surgery. Well, now......her cats had always been seen by my vet........and she would have had to drive all the way here to pick that record up.......so told them to stuff it, she'd do it here. Sad, huh? Even with the cost of gas added in, it was tons cheaper. And yes, when Nichole's animals need seen, they come here still. You need to look for a small town with lots of working farms. Farmers, no matter how well they're doing, can't pay high vet costs......too many animals. The vets they use know that and adjust prices accordingly. Shoot, I nearly passed out when I bought the flea medication at the store.......4 times as much as what the vet charged!!! I'll NEVER do that again. They give them at just above costs. I adore my furbabies. They're my kids just as much as my other kids are..........but I won't put up with a bunch of nonsense let's soak the insurance co for all it's worth testing don't on them anymore than I will one of my furkids. I'm too practical a person for such things, too poor too. [/QUOTE]
