The Vet Profession has become greedy and too many are charging very excessive fees, at every opportuity - seldom considering if owners can actually afford the bill ? Insurance Cover pushes fees up and up and as a consequence, too many animals are either not treated quick enough and suffer or are Put To Sleep for monetary reasons.
The whole ethos of charges needs addressing at the highest level. Vets are meant to be caring for our animals not causing unnecessary pain and distress.
