It's great to know that their are vets out there that are actually in it to help animals and not in it for the money. I would also describe my vet like this. Although the veterinary hospital that I go to is now in a big fancy building with 20 something vets and it's also open 24 hours, one time when I took Sky and Ziggy in for their annual exams I was shocked at how cheap my bill was. My vet had only charged me for Ziggy. She's also given me many discounts before too.

Each vet types in the charges on a computer in the exam room or whatever room they happen to be in which then goes to the front office. I like this idea because then they get to charge the client what they want instead of having one of the front office people charging you. I can also e-mail my vet with questions or concerns and she's even replied back to me on her days off.
