Vets Prices

[Bobbisox1]

£48-86 for shampoo???
Lola has allergy problems which are more apparent with grass pollen , all told a bill for £109
Vets prices are way over the top but they know we pay them because we love our pets

[Redhelen72]

Is it prescription shampoo? If so that’s why so expensive, otherwise look on https://www.animeddirect.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6s2IBhCnARIsAP8RfAg8t7TlZyk2QaTlesK4DkcR79BF08MNmznR1dS6WqkpcdJ4fZtN2vwaAgHuEALw_wcB

[Bobbisox1]

Thank you, I will

[Redhelen72]

Up until brexit I got Brice special food for a fraction of the price

Vets are like lawyers, you never find a poor one!

[Bobbisox1]

That’s true Andy , I rang our pet insurer because you can talk to a veterinary nurse, waste of time “ Ring your vet and get advice from them”

[ladybirder]

Pets at Home has a Grooming section here in Hove and the prices are very reasonable. Don't you have one near you Bobbi?

[Bobbisox1]

Hi lB, yes we do , OH is calling at the vets this morning to query the bill, she wants to see Lola in two weeks time and he want to know have we paid this in advance?
We love her to bits and id remortgage our home for her if I had to but feel £46-88 for a 250 ml of shampoo is going a bit too far , I think he’s going to ask for her prescription off the vet .

Bobbi - my reading of it is that the shampoo cost £14.44

[Purist]

have just been quoted between £350-£750 for a teeth descale and polish for the cat! even phoning around cheaper places they are still £200-400 assuming they are taking on new clients (most are not)

[barry1010]

My reading of it is that the shampoo is £48.66.
Consultation £47.50 and Prednisolone £14.44

[barry1010]

What on earth is happening? All of my cats lived long, healthy and happy lives - I've been very lucky with my pets - but not once did any of them have their teeth descaled and polished. Is that really a thing for cats now?

[barry1010]

That shampoo is £12.89 online but you do need a prescription

[Toorak]

You are right Barry - the £14.44 is for the tablets

[Bobbisox1]

We are again looking closely at the bill and thing because the vet wants to see her again in two weeks time, coukd the £46-88p be her fee paid in advance ? Seem an odd amount though , my husbands going to call in to clarify this morning
Thanks all

[pastafreak]

Good luck with that Bobbi. Shall we take bets on whether or not you pay again next time?
At my local Pet Express, you can do your own pet shampooing. I don't know the charge but I'm sure it's a good deal less than £109!

[Bobbisox1]

Total waste of time ringing her insurance as I said to Andy, they can’t prescribe over the phone, Ring you Vet!!

[curlygirlies]

Your vet will charge you around £25 for a prescription which will give you up to three shampoos. Its an easy process to buy online and email over a copy of the prescription I use petdrugsonline. Your consultation fee will have vat added which makes it an odd number. £40 + vat = £48

Thanks curly would I be entitled to get her prescription from our vets?

[pastafreak]

I thought that you can ask your vet for any prescription. That's why the online pet pharmacies do so well.
