Hi Ann, Until I read your post I didn't know I could get drugs for my dog other than at my vets. I wonder why he didn't tell me?????????? I would be greatfull if you could let me know the details of where you get your pet's drugs.

Our cat Suki had to have surgery following the discovery of a massive tumour surrounding her heart. The cost of this ended up around
Hi Chrisbee
I wouldn't have known about the free scripts. However, my Cairn Terrier breeder told me about it when her eye problem was diagnosed. I was a bit dubious about dealing with a company via online and postal service. However, this has proved very lucrative over the last 3 years!!! As you can imagine.
Please mods pass on my email address to Chrisbee.

Gumbo, what do you mean by your question 'is it all to do with pet insurance?
I was wondering now that most people have Pet Insurance. Are Vets jacking up the cost of everything they charge for, and just assuming everyone will claim off "The Insurance"

Hi Gumbo
That's what I thought you meant. I'm not sure whether they are jacking the prices up coz of insurance or not. I know each time I've taken one of my animals to the vet, it the vet thinks it's more than a 'one visit will do', they always ask me if the animal is insured.
I would be interested to know what would happen if you took a sick animal in which you owned and say for instance, it needed emergency surgery. The bill came to over

Hi Lisa,
The answer to this is simple - they will put the animal to sleep and then invoice you. I actually asked my vet this (after my german shepherd puppy had to have several x-rays), and he said that it does happen, and the choice is the owner's - either pay for it, or have the animal put down. I was glad I have both my dogs insured! One has gone on to develop a thyroid problem meaning he is on tablets for the rest of his life, and I am very glad the insurance will cover this.
