Sooo expensive!!

I have just taken Fudge to the vets for his annual booster and health check. He had his checks and then his jabs etc and then I needed some wormer and frontline as well. Went out to reception to pay and it was £90 I was flippin gobsmacked!!! Are all your vets this expensive??

We paid just under £30 for Marius jabs and then a further £21 for him to be microchipped. The vet threw in some Frontline free and wormers

£90 seems high!

Lordy no!!

I think that a full consultation at our vets is about £25. I think we pay a few pounds extra for his jabs once a year, if I recall correctly his health check and vaccinations last year came to just over £30?

I pay about £15 for his wormer once every 3 months and about £15 for his flea treatment for 4 months supply and Max is considerably bigger than Fudge!!!

Your bill does seem quite high, did they give you a breakdown of costs?

90 quid, that seems too much.

I pay nearly 30 for the booster, buy the wormers from the pet shop and Frontline online, comes nowhere near £90

I get my wormers and flea treaments from online vets. I think there both without prescription now. I think I paid about £18.00 for 20 wormers and £6.00 per vial for th edrop on flea treatments. My vet charges about £28.00 for a booster.

Ollie is expensive because he is so large but for your little doglet seems quite high.

i dont have to pay for a consultation if its for a jab,my booster for xena,wen i took her b4 she passed was £21,now its gone up £23.
i will never worm and flea my dogs at the vets,i get the same stuff on line for cheaper,6capsules of frontline for trin cost me £26,which aint bad going considering my vet was gona charge£49 odd and i get the capsules for the biggest size dog.
as for chipping,it cost me £12 for seren,they had a special on

Depending on whether its a full booster or not (usually only need a full booster every 3 years, and a mini-booster - just parainfluenza and lepto - in inbetween years), and the size of the dog and what size pack of frontline, I think that could be a fair price. ie, if it was a full booster and a 6 pack of the largest size frontline.

Don't forget you're paying for the vets' professional expertise in health-checking your pet too, and that about £15 of that has gone straight to the taxman.

My girls have their booster every 3 years, we're charged £21 that includes injection, consultation and full MOT....I buy my wormer online, £1.70 per tablet and each of my girls have 1.1/4 tablets each, and I never used a flea product just garlic and they've never had fleas.

So yes, that does seem rather expensive for such a little doggie.

Vienna had her year booster, a check up and some worming tablets yesterday and it came to about £37 ish. Yours sounds waaaaay too high!
