Wanted to comment on the refusal of service in an emergency.
Sad to say we know of one emergency center, they require a $500.00 depost up front either cash or on a credit card, no personal checks accepted. If the Vet and emergency care charges is less than the Deposit of $500.00 they give refund back in the form it was received. I witnessed it with others in the emergency hospital, it was either pay or pet isn't seen
This happened when our Gretta (our dear Doberman) got bit by a rattle snake, we had to give them $500.00 before they would even see her. It turned out that she was there a night and day, when we got there the following day she had pulled the iv out and wouldn't keep it in so we said heck with this stuff, they weren't doing anything so we brought her home gave her lot of TLC, she did fine. Got the use of her leg back and never any problem. I don't know the policy with them now but I hear from others it hasn't changed but am sure they most likely require a higer depost.

Our spay for our little girl this past week was $200.00 my daughter in North Carolina said that is low compared to what they charge there wow, we thought what we paid was a lot. No over night either, every other vet said over night stay was a must but then no one would be there to check on them after the office closed at five and I SAID NO WAY, NO THANK YOU.
RAJA THAT IS EXCELLENT IDEA.
