OT Vets
 

Anybody else had a nice local vet for years low cost nothing ever forced
on you then suddenly without notice you get messages saying injections
are due that you never needed before and then they try and sell you
"preventative plans"....then you find out the nice vet that ran it for
years and is still there has sold out to a big national veterinary
outfit ? ........ *******s

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.

The vet gives *you* injections? It could explain a lot?

Yup ... because it's changed from a vocation to a commercial concern.

He has possibly sold his customer database and goodwill, he might even
be kept on for a while (it helps retain customers if the still see him
there fore a while).

'Businesses' ... and at least they are being responsible by following
the guidelines re boosters etc (for you and the dog / cat / chimp[1]).

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. :)

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.

The two vets I use now do "care packages" that do injections, wormers,
etc. somewhat cheaper than the standard costs. As does my dentist for 6
monthly checkup and hygenist, with a monthly DD.

One thing they achieve by this is a more level revenue stream, and it
cuts my costs slightly.

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.
