He had a CT scan at that place in Bolton behind the old college this aft and they are operating tomorrow. £2600 is considerably cheaper than the £7k+ some places charge. I just hope he can get back some quality of life. With decent care, the fact he’s young and clearly loving owners, my missus says he’s every chance. All the best mate. He’s worth a bit of overtime 👍👍 Quote

Turns out the vet agreed to come in on his day off to see my dog and give him the scan. Top bloke. Quote

Aye Vets get some right shit at times because people view the pricing as a rip off. It really isn’t. Quote

RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 We use one in Leigh, only drawback is you are sat for ages after your appointment time because he takes so much care of his patients 😊 Quote

Blondi Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 I've been brought up with dogs all of my life, we've had mainly large dogs, we've had 3 German Shepherds and 2 Doberman bitches, the most amazing dog breeds for a family, not everyone likes a big dog though and we currently have a male Miniature Schnauzer, he's so intelligent and what a character too, he doesn't shed and he only costs just over £30.00 every couple of months at the dog groomers, they are healthy little dogs and love exercise but an hour a day is sufficient for them. Do stay well clear of French Bulldogs and British Bulldogs etc, you're asking for trouble with regards to health issues and insurance could be costly too. Quote

glennboltw Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 What are the thoughts of the yearly injections dogs should have? Is it just a myth or a money making scheme for vets? My border collie is 13 now and probably not had any injections for at least 10 years and has had no health issues (touch wood). Quote

Think you've answered your own question there, it's bollocks! My in laws never took their dogs for a annual injection and their dogs never lived a shorter life span. Quote

They are, of course, based inside Pets at Home, in the hope you'll spend in store. Quote
