I can't tell you how many people around here have had to have their animals put down because the local vets only do routine health care and the only referral is to Cornell that whose rates are sky high. I don't think most people in this area have even heard of pet insurance. |
Someone needs to write some very wordy but to the point letters to the dean, facility administrators and the university contributes-it's all about who's running the place, the code of ethics and department heads-which means getting to the heart of those who control the money-especially if you know those organizations & individuals who make donations to the university, when they make a "suggestion" you usually see the impact of it in policy change.
Davis makes money don't get me wrong, but it's not really a for profit effort on their part they are trying to cover their costs and educate and research.
I can't say for sure but there are a couple different options here so it might also be market competition.
Saying all that-these types of treatments and referrals are by no means cheap. Cost of owning a pet.
