As you know I visited the vet this week (well Saturday) after tripping over Jack and spraining his leg.
I opted to not see our normal vet (for saturdays they charge an emergency fee unless its a wellness check. So the office visit would have been $42. His vet is 45 minutes away (we are moving to there soon).
I called around to some places nearby and choose to go to Banfield at Petsmart. There office visit was $33.95 and I paid about $79 for two pain med injections and two pain meds I brought home.
Because there was a possibility of needing an xray I got quotes when I called around. Jack's normal vet said $75, Banfield wanted $150-$200. The vet up the street wanted $200-$300 for xrays.
If by Tuesday Jack is still limping we will be going to his normal vet for xrays--they also only charge $18 for an office visit also.
So basically his normal vet:
Office Visit- $18
Saturday Emergency visit- $42
Neuter- $26
2nd set of shots- $22 (rabies and FVRCP)
Medicine for yeast infection in ear-$76 (antibiotic, ear wash and trasaderm (sp))
xrays-$75
Banfield
Office Visit- $33.95
Pain meds- $79 (two injections and two syrups)
xrays-$150+
1st vet we took him to:
office visit-$27.60
FELV FIV test- $39.74
Rhino/calici/dist/chlam vac- $11.10
trioptic-$7.75 (eye infection med)
deworm-$4.80
capstar- $2.05 (fleas)
revolution- free
What do you pay?
