Seriously.....Who would want to be a human doctor when you can be a vet in half the time and make money like this...
Not to mention the much more positive assotiation

I've had teeth pulled for less than that.

Animal health care reform. That's what's next.

Your free medical doesn't cover dependents?

I recently had a sick pet and paid out the wazoo. It certainly is expensive, but I wouldn't have done anything differently. I have been looking into pet health insurance though. It seems to be getting popular and the prices are pretty cheap (most seem to range around mid $xx a month).

vets... doing gods work

vets.... taking god like money

Sucks yes, but my dog comes before me, I'll take him to the vet and avoid going to the doc myself.

I pay for insurance on my pets. VPI pet insurance.
They usually pay a good bit of any bills I get.
You have to pay the vet upfront, but then you mail VPI the bill and they send you a check.

Pet insurrence which would be 25 bucks pr month to cover surgeries up to 10k or so.
Never bothered signing them up, but i sure will next week.

you have to get pet insurance on your pets when they are puppies...

they wont insure older dogs..

and to the OP, or vet is a fucking crook..

i just took my dog to the vet for a bite and with stitches, wound cleaning, anesthesia, antibiotics, and pain meds to take home, the bill was $112.00

Yup pet insurance.
Just go fir either the low or middle option, not the best choice. That just covers vaccines, shots, pest control, etc. Though it costs about 2-3 times as much.

When my dog got ran over and had to be admitted and treated twice plus a follow up.Total bill was a tad over 1,000.00 they gave back close to 800.00 and it just took around 2-3 weeks to get paid back.
You will have to pay out of pocket though and wait for reimbursement.

where do you get the idea that you can be a vet in half the time?

not to mention most vets I've met got into it due to a love of animals

In BC canada you can sign them up at any age, so im ok there.

Not bad. I just paid $133 for the vet to look my cat over and give me a tube of antibiotic cream. :disgust

Vet 4-8 years (depending on degree)
Doctor/Surgery roughly 12+

Im not saying being a Vet is easy so try to not take this personally :winkwink:

you guys don't have pet insurance at your local vet?
weird... I pay roughly $150 per year free visits and discounted meds or if needs anything done it will be seriously discounted too....

I should have as well, however we got them while living in Europe/Praque
Moved to Vancouver, got busy etc etc

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :helpme


.

ya my pug needs his ass juice emptied every 3 weeks so i go and he does it for free :) worth every penny :) and got busy isn't really an excuse, its only takes an hour from ur time to drive to the vet...good luck next time hope your doggy feels great now
