 I hear you....
I've had the same vet throughout my life for all my animals so I keep him for my 12 year old pekinese just to be loyal. He's done a lot for my family pets throughout the years so I keep him for our Peke. Now that I have 2 pups I found a vet a little less pricey. My female went yesterday and it was only $88.00. If I had gone to our family vet it would have been about $150.00. That's what we paid for our pekinese annual visit. Anyway, there should be a cheaper place in your area. There are low cost spay and neuter clinics that offer low cost shots you may want to google on in your area. My friend used to take her cats to Animal Advocates, it's a low cost vet care facility and it was about 1/2 what she would pay at a regular vet....maybe checking around. Maybe check with the humane society in your area....It is a lot of money but you can cut corners if you check into cheaper places. Just to give you an idea, I refer people who buy my bunnies to low cost spay and neuter clinics and a girl just got her male neutered for $50.00 at a place I recommended. She checked on her own and they were all $300 + in her area....googling helps! You just have to check around. |
