I guess, maybe, it's because some owners flip their lid, but it's more annoying to get a bill for way more than they originally told you.

No kidding eh!? Our new vet sends us estimates that look like actual invoices.. with price breakdowns and everything. Gawd, I'd flip if they told me $40 for an extraction and got an invoice for $700

Yikes! Prayers for your bank account are on the way.

Wow, sorry to hear that Ashley. I hope the boys behave themselves and don't find anything else to worry you or your bank account. And Keeva, you too, little girl, stay healthy, no boo-boos.

That's awesome. You're lucky!

It seems like when ever we get anything done at our Vet... it goes over the original quote by at least $50. But they're so nice, and they're raw advocates, so whatev.
