This one seems a bit steep to me as I had a consultation and a prolapse operation on a Sunday and the bill came to £92.

sorry about your loss
someone done the same to one of my cats he was a lovely thing
we found him dead in the persons garden down the road poor sod was trying to get home

vets they like to make as much money out of people as they can

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss

It seems that a lot of vets only care about making money. I've been checking vets in my area for when Xito comes home. As i was asking about neutering fees for when he is older, in one of the vets they charge £50 at 5 months, £70 at 6-12months or £85 1 year or older

All other vets i asked have one price for males and one for females just as you said, it's only this one i find it quite strange
I'm definitly not going there with Xito, if they do that for neutering imagine how they're like with everything else.

Unfortunatly on most vets i visited i feel they're pushing a sale for all kinds of services. I'm just looking for a check up for when i bring Xito home, want to get to know a good local vet if i need it in the future and find out prices for neutering.

I understand that it is a business, but it does worry me that they're more concerned about making money than in the wellfare of the animals.

I thought it was a bit steep I will be asking her what was actually done to Tiger , I've warn the other cat owners around me about the piosion and to keep an eye on there cats what to watch out for , I think its outragous what vet fees our now

I am actually pleased someone agrees with me, it was ridiculous, I was told on the phone the consultation would be £90 something (can't remember now) plus treatment as it was out of hours. The cost didn't matter he needed a vet.

I still have the receipt in front of me: -

Consultation before euthanasia out of hours £58.01
Euthanase Cat £19.48
Cremation Cat £21.66

I did question the bill because I was expecting £90 something plus, well it wasn't treatment but you know what I mean.

I was told if they have to euthanise the fee is broken down as owners have gone through enough.

It seems to me they can charge what they like.
