I can tell you, MY vet would just keep charging - -DOUBLE.

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.

Sounds like my old vet. I hardly ever paid for medication. He almost always sent me home w/o having to pay for the meds, only the procedures. He hardly ever even charged me for the office visit! He called it "LeBeau economics", LeBeau being his surname. He took early retirement b/c he had serious back issues and many surgeries. He even came out of retirement for a couple of years b/c he missed his work so much but he found that he could no longer stand on his feet for long periods of time so he retired again. What compassion this man had! He hand wrote a two page letter when my dog Charmin died. My current vet, Dr. Lee, is fairly expensive, I must say but he didn't charge me a penny for having Boo PTS and he carried Boo himself and walked me to my car and placed him on the seat next to me, gave me a hug and told me to please drive carefully b/c I was so upset. Yep, we've got a couple of good ones, Ellie.
