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.
I just took Izzy to the Vet Wed. Out the door was 61.75... Shot, stool sample, Good check over, Black light test for her dry skin (came back good) and that did include 2.99 for throwing away the needle..lol...Oh well..I now have a piece of mine for my little furbaby..
