[Njagdu] Vet costs

[Patricia Ebel]

Hi, that is quite the bill there but for all you received it sounds about
right.

Did you ever try getting your front line etc. from Pet meds?

They offer guide dog discounts and their prices are a little lower I think.

The number is 1 800 pet meds.  Try it out and just let them know you would
like the discount for guide dogs.  Also, do you also ask for a discount from
your vet?  Most offer discounts for working guide dogs.

Good luck to you.

 

Best,

Trisha Ebel

I took my retired guide to the vet yesterday for his annual checkup, rabies
vaccine, etc.

I paid $950 for the checkup, vaccines, a year's worth of Heartguard and
Nexguard, plus a year of Nexguard for my current guide.

I was a bit schocked.  Good thing I've got a good job!

Is this about what it costs for a vet visit in NJ, or is my vet charging a
lot?  I'm pretty sure it's the pills that are so expensive.

Tracy, with Krokus and Ben
