I heard about this on the radio this morning and it’s about time their charges were looked at!

It seems they can charge several times what you can buy medication for on Internet sites.

Also the cost of treatment now is staggering but if they think you have pet insurance they will do all they can to make as much money as possible.

We all love our pets and vets know this and prey on it.

I live in France and the fees are a fraction of what they are in UK

Yes, this is my observation too. Fabulous service- no-one round here has animal insurance, and all vets are privately owned- partners and employed.
