[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vet industry is out of control and the extravagant fees are basically killing more animals than they are helping. There is an an explosion of puppies and kittens now because people are shocked when their vet tells them it will be $800-1200 to spay their pet. This same vet charged $200-$400 5-10 years ago before the original vet owner retired/sold his practice to a private equity owned company. The old vet used to discount services for senior citizens and rescue. New ownership would laugh at that practice! There are many more accidental litters now. Low cost spay and neuter is overwhelmed so people who could and would afford reasonable vet fees are opting to not get the pet fixed or euthanizing them. [/quote] Adopting a $400 dog that is already spayed or neutered would be a better option for these people. Owning a dog means vet bills, sometimes unexpected ones, and vets deserve to be paid for their skills. [/quote]
