| I travel about 25 minutes to my vets office, about 1.5 hours to the specialty hospital if needed. It is a 10 minute drive to the ER vet.

| I live in a very small farming town. I have to drive an hour and a half to the vet. their are other vets that are a little closer but this one I go to is accredited. They are the best ones to go to . their prices are not that bad , they are even willing to work with you . The Dr. will give me an estimate and breakdown of all procedures. If something is too much my dogs still can get excellent care.

| The pricing at my vets office has gone up and are Outrageous. Riley is due for his yearly check-up/vaccines, etc. [I was charged a total of $210 in examination fees when i first took him in 3-different times, for his initial check up and then his 2nd and 3rd set of puppy shots. All they would do is listen to his heartbeat and wiggle him arond. I have talked to a couple of offices, who have come highly recommended, in Virginia, down around where my parents live... and their pricing is sooooo Much Less.... of course. I have some time to think about it. |

| Winston's usual vet is only about 3 blocks from home. That is where is groomer is as well. His Int. Med. vet is about an hour away, well worth the drive..

| 30 miles to our vet (takes 30 minutes to drive there almost exactly). There's actually one down the road from me (3 miles), but I've not heard good things about it and Kimbo has never gone there. I'd have to drive an hour and a half to get to an emergency vet.
