Perfectly reasonable.

My brother was wondering the other day why it is that if he'd cut his
leg and needed a couple of stitches it'd have taken a long wait in A&E
and cost the NHS a small fortune, wheras when his dog did it, even on a
Sunday dog got seen at once and bill was £17.

Ditto dental work - my JR had a tooth out and the rest cleaned, under general
anaesthetic, for £100, at 24 hours notice.
