OMG! My vet bill!! - Pet Pad

luvmysailor96 · 11-03-2009, 04:16 PM

So I took my new puppy to the vet today. I just got him on Sunday. I got him from a breeder. I made a big no no and didnt do my research on the breeder like I did on my lab. Well not only had he not had all the shots he was supposed to but he has a skin infection. The vet made sure it wasn't mites and prescribed a shampoo for him. Between all that and his shots and my Labs shots my bill was ......$380. I almost died. So in 3 days I have spent over $800 on dogs. I love my pooches!

Would you like to Trade I'll pay 800 if you pay 1700

380 on an annual for two dogs actually isn't that bad.

It gets cheaper when they're older and don't need so many shots.

Definately not the annual. Well for my Lab it was, but for my doxie we still have 3 or 4 more puppy visits plus getting him neutered in Feb. They are worth it though. It was just a suprise.

Yea I took my cat in for just a rabies shot, distemper shot, wormer and an exam. The distemper shot was free for my first visit and I bought three months of frontline.....the bill was 160 bucks.

It's expensive.

Which is why I love that DF is paying for Auto's visit in December

I paid the shelter fee's, he gets the vet bills and sends me 50 a month for food

Yeah I paid $900 for my doggy when she got Pancreatitis. I know how you feel. I dished it out though because I love her

I think vets should accept payments

I wish they did too. But they only have Care Credit

i concider myself really really lucky, because here in italy we have an onpost vet and they offer discount service for your military furbabies. but i did pay 900 euro for my first yorkie which is about 1300 dollars. and 250 euro which is about 350 dollars for my second yorkie.

Love my kitten plan at Bainsfield in Petsmart. It doesn't cover when they get sick, but I would rather pay $20-60 when they are sick + 20 a month for their year round shots vs all at one time!
