There are two problems at work here. The first is the people out there that think animals are people and should be treated as such. While I love my dogs as much as the next guy and treat them right, they are still animals. The second problem, I think, stems from the first. That is that many vets have taken advantage of the 'animals are people' thought process and have raised their rates to 'human' prices. Not to mention I'd guess they probably have to carry medical malpractice insurance like ano other doctor in case somebody sued them when Fluffy died. I had an old fashioned vet nearly 15 years ago that used to take care of my dogs for me. When one went somewhere she shouldn't have been and got shot I took her to see him. Her left hind leg was broke so I asked him to fix it but told him I didn't have alot of money to do it. When all was said and done he did the surgery for me for a reasonable price and then said that things were worse than he had origionally thought so he'd had to put in a pin to help it set right but didn't charge me for it. As a part of that I had to take her back one weekend several months later for him to remove the pin which he did for free. He was also the same vet that once told my dad, when he took in a cat they had for shots, that there was shot a,b,c,x,y, and Z and it would cost an arm and a leg to get them BUT all the cat really needed was shots a and b and there was no sense spending alot of money on a 50 cent cat anyway. Yes, Dr Puckett Sr. was a great Vet and will be sorely missed. Nowdays I've been told his son runs the practice and I've heard several stories about how things now are sadly just as much or more about the money as they are about the animals. In any case it all comes down to the 'animals are people' mentality that has caused all of this to happen.
