Then about 3 mos. later, my friend whom also uses that vet, called to tell me she had called up there at the vets to see if they still took vouchers, as she had gottem a pom and wanted to get her spayed. She asked the receptionist if Dr Ross still took vouchers, the receptionist said yeah, but, he's kind of funny about it since some woman brought her $2500 dog in. She knew exactly who they were talking about. |
That's unbelievable! I'd think he was probably a little upset about not being able to make more off of you like he would upcharge others he thinks can afford to pay out. No matter how much a dog costs, isn't it for the greater good that the owners are encouraged to spay/neuter without the high cost being the only deterrent? No matter how much I loved a veterinarian before, if s/he had that kind of an attitude, I'd have to reappraise his character altogether.
It reminds me of the one family I had talked to while looking at the pups they had to offer, she was telling me how I should be careful on what kind of jewellery I had on and how I dressed when buying from some breeders. They sum you up and charge accordingly.
