Just have question on my veterinary that I pay for my pup Giggy he's 8 month old.

I see veterinary that was recommended by my friend in Whiteplains, NY. Today was the third visit for my Giggy, but feel like every time I go there, theres something new that they tell us that Giggy needs to have.

Before getting Giggy he already had 3 booster Vaccine (8/24,9/21,10/19) 3 DeWorming (8/24, 9/21, 10/19) 2 Bordetella (8/17, 9/21). Since then we brought Giggy three times and it total cost me $622. Heres all details.

First Visit (October 26,2011)
Health Examination: $68
Fecal/Giardia Analysis: $68

later on the week found Giggy needed medication for dewarming $20

2nd Visit: (December 28, 2011)
Health Examination: $68
Annual DA2PP Vaccine: $38
Annual Lepto Vaccine: $33
Envirosafe Medical Waste Fee: $4
Bordetella Booster: $38

3rd visit was today: (March 2, 2012)
Annual Rabies Vaccine: $32
Lyme Booster: $45
Envirosafe Medical Waste Fee: $4
Annual Bordetella Vaccine: $38
Brief Examination: $67
Revolution Dog 5-10(purple) for 6 month: $99

On Vaccination certificate that I got today note that I need Lyme Booster again on Mar 30, 2012 when I just got it done today.

I asked them about neutering and they told me with all blood test etc it will cost me roughly around $700.

I feel like I'm being ripped off, every time I visit them something new comes up.

I already paid $622 to this place and yes I know some of these stuff is necessary but are these all necessary? and what I'm paying is reasonable?

I recently moved to Fairfield County as well so I was thinking about changing my veterinary. If anyone could recommend Veterinary around Fairfield will be great.

Thank you
I really appreciate everyones help!!!!
