Our veterinary practice has been sold to the corporation. They are nice people there, I've used them for over 25 years

Three years ago Badger had to have dentistry including an extraction. The cost including tax came to just over $650.

When we took her in for her anal gland issue this week the really nice vet who examined her said she was in need of some dentistry again. So I asked for a quote which you see here. I called them, to be sure that I had read this correctly. It is a general quote, but it could be roughly $2000 plus tax. Will not be less than $1500, I'd guess. That's plus tax and roughly 3 times the bill last time.

Quite a difference from 3 years ago. And not doable, if you factor in say 3 years between these bills and 3 cats. You'd have to be budgeting $2000 a year for dental work for 3 cats.

How do people manage? 😳

A good friend of mine has had quite a bumpy ride, and his cat has become unwell. I think we all know how vet bills can rack up… Milo’s recent leg fracture cost about £7,000, some covered by insurance.
I suggested creating a GoFundMe page so he can continue to provide care and get more diagnostics carried out. I was fortunate that we were quite able to move money around and pay for his treatment, but not everyone has that luxury.

For reference this is Sadie (dog) and Stormy (cat).

Not sure how to add the text for visually impaired. So I’ll put it here. Sadie is a white, fluffy Great Pyr laying on the floor at the vet with her head up and back legs stretched out. Stormy is a long haired grey cat, looking directly at the camera with his head cocked to the side, had yellow green eyes.
