When in doubt, ask for an estimate. If they won't give you one, they don't want your business.

I would've been very unhappy about the poop thing.

I guess the vet telling him to stop would have everything to do with how she said it. Talking firm is one thing. Yelling is another...
$80 is way overpriced for just an exam/office visit. Is it the Health certificate that cost more??? I really dont know anything about the health certificates..never looked into it.

I usually pay $38 for the exam/office visit at the vet I see here, and it was $50something for the office visit/exam at Texas A&M Vet clinic (and that was to see an internal medicine specialist). I've paid two very different costs for fecals in the past - one was $9 at a vet where my parents live and one was $30something at Banfield (had to go there when i discovered rylie had tapeworms..yuck..they take walkins).

Customer service is really important to me too. I would hate feeling like a vet didn't spend enough time with my pet or treat us well. If I was really unhappy I would have complained.
