August 13, 201213 yr My pug has scratched his eye again so off we go to the vets this afternoon. £26 for the initial consultation which I am cool with. 2 Bottles of Eye drops, £46, yes 46 quid, I Googles them at home and they are 4 quid a bottle online Now I am all for them adding on their mark up but 500% is a bit steep. Could of bought me an extra bag of bing this Saturday with what I have forked out Rant Over
August 13, 201213 yr The way mine looks at me sometimes, I think mine thinks she is. Ask Aunty Bea, she rolls her eyes at us. Doesnt suprise me one bit, bet she see's some of the drivel you type on here !!
August 13, 201213 yr thought this was thread about about anweman and brixton going on a shoplifting spree...
August 14, 201213 yr I think they get away with a lot of the fees as most people will claim off insurance, my excess is 70 quid anyway, so I will only be claiming if more treatment is required First question they ask is are you insured - if you are that puts the bill up. If you're not you still pay over the odds but not quite as much Anyone who has pets and doesnt insure them is a crazy fool. If you have several dogs the total cost of insurance is prohibitve. Also the older the dog the more you pay. You just have to bite the bullet. Thankfully the odd litter of puppies and the stud fees go a long way to covering the upkeep including vets fees but nowhere near the cost of show fees and petrol. But then it's a hobby and you wouldn't expect to get a return from watching BWFC.
August 14, 201213 yr Had to take my old dog to vets after 3 visits and numerous test They sent her to Liverpool vet university for treatment was told it Would cost no more than £500 ( she was uninsured) Total bill came to £7500 Robbin cunts
August 14, 201213 yr Had to pal solicitor said I didn't have a case not to pay To say if I got another dog it won't be going to that vets is a understatement And if anyone's intrested it's that one on chorley new road facing queens park
August 15, 201213 yr Once you get a referral to specialists the bill rockets but 7.5k after being quoted .5 is ridiculous. The eye specialist we used for the cosmetic surgery told us it would be about £60 say £100 to be on the safe side. This is after we had paid out £1200 for the main eye surgery. When we got the bill it was £300. We complained like fuck and got half knocked off but even so we were pissed off. I can only imagine what I would be feeling if it it was 15 times what I was expecting even if I did get 50% knocked off. Just as a matter of interest 1969 who quoted the 500 your vet or the university. Also have you considered contacting the British Veterinary Association (Email: bvahq@bva.co.uk). Might not do any good as your solicitor appears to have said you don't have a leg to stand on but they may do something and it might make you feel a bit better that the robbing bastards have been reported to their supervisory organisation.
August 15, 201213 yr 7500!!! Holy mother fucking Mary!! I would post a steamy dogshit to everyone involved Every day till I died

The vet quoted that but even though they said £500 approx their was nothin in writingAnd to make things worst later this year they had her in for blood test but while she was their they found a tumour So had to have her put down but the cheeky cunts still tried to charge us for the blood test she never had
August 15, 201213 yr No Balls. The one on the Middlebrook is the one that ripped me off. Really? I've never had any problems. Though she rarely has to go to be fair.
August 15, 201213 yr Really? I've never had any problems. Though she rarely has to go to be fair. Maybe they aint brave enough to rip you off.
August 15, 201213 yr fucked em off at reebok when one of vets said whoa im not a lover of bulldogs ,,swift exit ,,, used to be ok cause it opened sundays but the new castle st does aswell and half the cost
August 15, 201213 yr Was it that German woman? She does say what she sees, which amuses me. She loves my little one who always performs for her.
