[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost respect for vets when they started charging for an office visit and an exam and for shaving the fur to examine the area. Um what exactly is the "office visit" charge if not for the exam? And what is the exam charge for if it doesn't include shaving the fur -- does it just cover the vet's eyeballs looking at the already shaven area? I'm surprised they don't charge for spraying the table and lifting the animal onto it, too.

FYI, I drove 45 minutes away and it was no better there. That vet charged me for three procedures to find out what was causing a rash and said two of them weren't likely to be the culprit. When I said, uh, why don't you just check for the thing you think it is then, he said, "because that's not the order we do it." Scum.[/quote]

since when was going to the vet ever free?  you used to go to vets that didn't charge you an office visit?  also... i don't know if you've ever been to any medical professional, but typically you need to run tests to find a diagnosis...they aren't psychics.    [/quote]

i work in a vet office in my local town and my area is known for "rich people" but is just big homes for cheap with a great high school, and the main vet raises the prices because of the area its in because of the fact its close to DC and everyone in it is rich, when in fact thats completely not true because not even half of the people living there are in fact rich. she rose the price of nail trim from $15, to $25 and then added an extra $15 to it for the amount of people needed to help hold the animal down. and she rose the price of our exam visit prices and made it so that if you called the office on off hours you'd be charged $95 for an over the phone consultation. which is complete B.S because since ive started working there weve lost more than a fourth of our clients and the only clients that come back only come to see the technicians because they dont like the vet at all. the vet likes to argue at the clients and charge them for things they didnt approve of. for example ill give a senerio ( none of the names are real) vet bob is talking to client mrs hill about her dog rufus and vet bob turns and looks at me and says can you take rufus in the back and clip his nails and then tells the client that his nails were long and that vet bob didnt want rufus to scratch her. and on top of it all the head vet has 2 dogs theyre not potty trained so they poop and pee everywhere, they cause dog fights with the paitents, theyve made multipule clients stop coming because the dogs caused so many problems to there pet. and im just the intern i dont get paid, and the head vet puts me in situations where shes lying a client had asked her if we all had our rabies vaccine for humans she said yes, this here is our intern laura ( that is my real name) shes had hers and i straight up said " no actually ive never had that vaccination because i cant pay for it" the client looked swindled she has never came back to our office and shortly after that other clients who knew that one quit coming because the head vet lies. she shows up late, causing the client to go over the time limit and have to pay for an extended visit. its BS i dont take my dog or cat to her because the time i did she charges me $300 for my cat and i asked for was for her to check and make sure her fleas went away, and my dog was charged $400 for an exam, 3 year rabies and bordetella. then i told the manager what happened and she said thats "f#$king crazy you work here for free, everyday open to close and she ( refuring to the vet) couldnt give you a little discount for you even though your here for free, im sorry laura that will never happen again thats f%$ked up of her" after that i stopped taking them there because the head vet blew air from her mouth into my dogs face saying thats how you train them to do what you want. 1. i train dogs and thats the number 1 way to be bitten. and 2. my dog doesnt bite ever but she will bite if you blow in her face and she will hate you. i told the vet dont you dare ever do that to my dog or anyone else dog that is awful and my dog and hopefully others dogs will bite you because no dog likes that.[/quote]
