I'm 99% sure your legally allowed to jab your pets yourself!! So if you just bought the boosters/ferret jabs etc do it yourself...

Can buy boosters in pharmacy where I am. 9euros last time I asked.

 

Back in the uk 1st question vets used to ask me "do you have insurance...?"

It’s a business same as any other, there to make money, if you approach any private company they will see you as income whether they be vets, private health companies, supplements sellers or your local pet shop. Its a matter of using them when you need them and keep away when you don’t and if you find a decent one be happy!

Agree, and after spending years at university etc they are entitled to earn good money, but not entitled to prolong suffering so they can milk the owner/insurance as is the tone of the article.

that statement is one i never understand as it implies that all professionals who train for years must be doing it for the money. if this is the case why do lawyers charge 200 quid plus per hour and yet nurses only get a tenner odd per hour, who really is the most important on a day to day basis. its all about money and status not the profession and morality

To my mind it was around the mid (money making) 80's that vets underwent changes and charges. It never mattered before which vet you took your animal too, it was all 'much of a muchness' in terms of prices, (suppose its the same now!!)

From that point to now we seen plenty of practices change and go all 'high tech' along with the prices and we hunted hard to find the real working dog vets, charging working dog prices as they disappeared year by year and we went further and further afield for the right one. Some clung on but the days of Mr Seargent and the legend that was Mr Randall have gone forever.

Now, personally, the games fecked, so dependent on the problem, depending on the treatment, i'll do most of my own work and use professionals only when its a last resort...
