I don't use the vets that much anymore only for the horses if need be 20 odd years been with them but robbing c**ts. The vets I'm with now is vets 4 pets a pay 30 pound a month for 3 dogs 10 pound each. An a get free consultation womers an advocate an jabs an kennel cough all in for 10 pound. First year you get £50 knocked off with your membership card for pets at homes. Normal bill works out 100 quid a dog for year an all that's in. I've been a member for over 3 years now an wouldn't change. All I wanted was a prescription abit of paper after 20 years of being there load of bollocks. You might say why didn't you ask vets for pets. Which I did an she says advocate cover lung an heart worm but I've always given milbemax too as I'm abit sketchy on the advocate because one of my bitches soon as she feels it on her skin shakes it off so like to give her the milbemax oral think all wormers should be oral.

I'd be happy paying a couple of quid.

chartpolski 20,226 Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Vets simply don't want you to get medicines cheaper on line, and by charging anything up to £25 per prescription means you are more likely to get your medicines from them. Theres no doubt vets fees are outrageous these days. I was quoted £225 to have an old lurcher put down ! I 'phoned my vet one time and was told I'd been removed from their list, I asked why, and was told I hadn't been in with the dogs for monthly check ups and hadn't joined the booster, worming, fleaing program. They said they had so many new customers because of people getting pups during lock down that they were turning people away and going through their list and deleting people who "didn't visit regularly". It didn't seem to matter that I'd been a customer since the day he came out of vetinary college ! Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post

That's what a mean mate money grabbing c**ts just like rest of company's that know you need them. You look at other company's an products in life you don't use much of deals are out every week the c**ts can't give them away lol. Why can one company that's got a receptionist who goes just into the back for your wormers charge you 47 quid I know someone said to pay the staff but f**k me. That company at Thirsk I've been told that Peter off Yorkshire vet has shares in vets UK it how true a don't know. But they've got numbers off staff packing medication up big old company. They've even said its the 20 % tax what does it. It costs 36.70 for 4 milbemax then the 20% vat which takes it to 47 quid 10.30 of that is vat. But vets UK can sell them at 3.32 which is 13.28 for 4 add the 20% is 15.93. So Calder are charging me over 30 quid more big difference. Quote Link to post
