Yearly Vet Visit*

I'm glad it was your puppy that needed to see the vet and not you. I only have fishies and know how to take care of them myself... I have all the meds they need and one small pack of frozen peas just in case one has a problem. Unfortunately, my big doctor visit is still coming up. I'm almost looking forward to it because the problems are getting worse.

I’m not seeing the picture, yet. My dog’s vet visit always sets me back quite a lot too.

He is so cute, I think he is not looking at the camera, i think he is anticipating the vet to get him, lol! I wonder why the adults don't want to have kids, complaining because it is expensive, but raise a lot of fur babies, lol!

I go to the vaccine clinic at tractor supply for my dogs shots. I do have a couple of vets I use if needed for other things

Your Taz is very cute and ready to go home. I have to take my Fred cat for an annual visit in September. If I don't, the Vet won't prescribe his heart meds. You are right on Vets draining your wallet.

Good to know that your dog is up to date with his medicines and shots.

Ugh, the closest vet to this area is expensive like that. I try to take my cat elsewhere if at all possible. I thought last week I might have to take him to the vet..and I was dreading it, but everything was OK. Taz says he is worth every cent!

Look at his face, poor Taz, he does not like that place.

He is such a cutie, Did you name him after the cartoon character Taz? Glad you got that visit over with,

Wow that seems like a lot for that vet visit but I've yet to find a vet bill to be less than I anticipated and it's always more. Taz is a cutie and he's probably happy to have all that done with too.

Oh my goodness, that's a lot of money .....having said that Taz is gorgeous x

Glad to know.have a great day.

I don't have any pets. So I don't need to go to the vet..From your post I came to know for the first time that it's very costly.. And time consuming also.

your dog looks concerned. it's a lot but i think it was well invested money.

Taz is a cute dog. Well worth the money.

Veterinary care is extremely expensive here too. And I'm not sure I believe that it is all necessary. I mean we humans generally get one vaccine against a disease, or maybe one and a booster, so it seems odd that they tell us cats and dogs should have them every year. Also I have to mention that dogs being treated with insecticides to prevent fleas and ticks are a major cause of environmental contamination, e.g. if they swim in a pond or river they release a lot of the poisonous flea treatment into the water, affecting aquatic life, and if their fur is used by nesting birds it is associated with a big reduction in the number of baby birds.

Poor Taz. He does look a bit anxious. That's a lot of money but at least Taz is all up to date now.

A visit to a doctor also can end up with a bigger bill than we had expected. I recall my cataract surgery few years ago. I had kept cash as a back up and it was useful as one of my credit card refused to cooperate!
