I had to take Cinnamon to the vet today because she is itching like crazy and has a rash. I love this vet in terms of how caring he is and how close he is to my house, 5 minutes away. In addition a friend of mine works there and can always get me in right away when she is on, so there are perks.
However, I think they are overpriced and with 3 dogs, it is adding up. He spent probably 5 minutes with us, looked at the rash, didnt really offer any information and prescribed a medication. The charge was $48...I couldnt believe it. I am out of line or is that high?
