[Njagdu] Vet costs

[Tracy Carcione]

Thanks Tracey.  I've written it down.  Hopefully I'll remember to read it
next year before I have to buy routine meds again.

I hope your wait for a successor dog is not too long.  Good luck.  Keeping a
retired dog is extra work and cost, but I'm glad the old boy can stay with
us.  He's worth any trouble.

Tracy, Krokus and Ben

Hi Tracy:

 

That is about what vets charge in NJ, especially if you want a quality
veterinarian. For Frontline products, I generally get them through Entirely
Pets which you can access through the Internet and use their 800 number. I
get my Heartgard Plus from Entirely Pets as well. The only medications I get
from the vet are what is required for whatever treatment is required. I know
what you mean because I am on the replacement list myself and want to keep
my retired dog as well. 

 

Hope this helps.

 

Sincerely, 

 

 

 

Tracey Frost and Coral

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
