Vets in the city are expensive!

Wow!! I thought my vet was expensive!



And that, of course, is assuming the puppy doesn't have any major health problems. And you know what happens when you assume things! LOL

I do know! My little girl just turned 4 and was diagnosed about 6 months ago with addisons disease. Now she takes daily medication and monthly vet visits for injections. Never would have expected anything like this, she was perfectly healthy up to that point.
