My vet of 30 years sold out to one of those vet chains...VCA. He's still working there, but no longer has a say in the business end.

I can't tell you how shocked I was when I got the last bill...$53.50 just for the "office visit / consultation." (All I went in for was the shot.) Then, everything else was tacked on. $36 for the shot. Even an additional $4.99 for throwing away the needle for her rabies shot. Hazardous waste. Good grief.

I'd like to know if these charges are about average or not. I'm in Massachusetts, if that makes a difference. His charges sure shot up like a rocket after VCA took over.
