Our recent visit to the vet (2 dogs) for yearly shots, fecal testing, and exam cost $180.00. They forgot to charge for the Bordetella vaccinations, so that will be added on as well. That also did not include the heart worm test and pills which we did early in the year. Anybody who thinks that they shouldn't pay for a mutt better wake up and smell the coffee, because responsible dog ownership does not come cheap. I think it is good to charge for the very reason it can eliminate some of the adopters who do not have the best interest of the animal at heart.
