I read more of this post... I think my vet must be outrageous too... I have 2 boys and Ive gone to other vets in the past and they are all roughly the same around here. For their 1 year shots and check up (1/2 hr appointment) and antibiotics it was $385. For each check up they get its minimum of $70 but it does seem like they always need something when I go... heartworm stuff, or antibiotics, or shots or soemthing... its never less than $150 when I go to the vet!
