OT Vets
One has to ask oneself why he had to sell, and you find that all that low
pricing and good service has hit the bottom line. There seems to be no middle ground though. Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Mmmh, our vets closed down, I always thought they were reasonably priced. Turns out they were skint. I don't know why they didn't just charge more. Oh yes, there's outrage around these parts when folk try that. So now we have to go to the 'rip off' vet that can afford to stay open. |

OT Vets
From the point of view of pet insurance, the one that the Supervet
advertises which I used when I had a dog always were fair and not obstructive. Previously Pet Protect and some others seemed to be far more interested in not paying out than being insurance, I'll say no more. Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

The dentist, slightly irritatingly, asks if you have thought about cosmetic dentistry, tooth whitening, etc. on the pre-appointment questionaire that just used to ask about health changes and medication. |
