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!!!! |
Miles doesn't need a lepto vaccine as he is, primarily, an indoor doggie and the side effects can be very harmful. Was in tears when I found out. I am a first time dog owner; i had cats years ago but they are like GOLDFISH compared to dogd You trust these vets to have your pup's best interests at heart and they are really only thinking about the dollar. Extra vaccines and then all the booster at thr expense of my dog's health!!! BTW, my fecal analysis was 90.00!!!
I am now using Bideawee in NYC and they are wonderful. We are subject to NYC Metro pricing; however, I don't like the padding of the bill each for each visit.
