I feel your pain!! I took Tater in a week and a half ago for his vaccines. I typically administer 8 in ones myself unless he needs a rabies which then since I am already paying and exam fee etc. etc. Anyways, I called ahead and got a price. It was going to be about $60-70 tops. After the appt I was hit with a whopping $160 bill!!!!
Worst part is once I got there she advised he doesn't need Rabies until next year. I don't mind paying for medical procedures etc. But I know how long it takes to administer a vaccine and check his temp and it's not $160 worth of time. This is why I have 2 vets. I go to the close one for routine checkups/vaccines, but for surgeries, dentals etc. I drive nearly an hour. I love that vet, he takes the time to speak directly with me, and he's cheap ($90 for dental which includes any necessary extractions, $60 for spay/neuter via laser) but an hour one-way is a long drive for a shot.
