I've had the same vet for 20 yrs and in an emergency you pay up front. We also have another emergency vet that is open 24 hrs a day every day and you pay the day the dog is seen.
Look at it from the vets point of view, in an emergency a good percentage don't make it so if they do all they can and run up a big bill and your dog dies, the people in alot of cases do not want to pay. I don't blame the vet.
I think by understanding people who may want alittle help because they have no other way, it will also lead us to the 'dead beat' who is too tight to spend a penny but I am willing to do that. |
