    Pat, she means $45, not $5, lol. That is how you get the $90!

    I came back and re-read this, you asked about the office visit if the pet is ill. For my vet, the office visit is the same, wellness exam or acute case. We do get a discount for follow up visits related to the same ailment / issue, those are just $35.

    I think that all of you have it made. I pay much more but I also live in California where everything is much more expensive. I go to a vet hospital that is also an ER hospital so they're always open 24 hours a day. For an annual exam or any other regular exam during normal business hours with an appointment it's $69.00 for the first pet and $45.00 for each additional pet. They just started doing the multipet discounts unless I just haven't noticed it for a while. For a recheck for any animal it's $45.00.

    Also the vet that you see is the one that puts in the charges so many times if I see my regular vet, she'll give me discounts. When Alani went back for a recheck I was told at the front desk that there would be no charge today. I love my regular vet because she's very compassionate, caring, and she also specializes in feline medicine and surgery. If one of my cats needs to be seen and there aren't any appointments available, then I'm considered an urgent care case and it would then cost me $90.00 I think and if for some reason I had to go back again as an urgent care case with the same animal then it would cost me $69.00. I think that they may charge more for ER visits after 10pm but I'm not sure. All animals must also have exams within the last year to be prescribed any kind of medication. I always take all 6 of my cats in for annual exams. After they receive all kitten shots and then an FVRCP shot once they're 1 year old and one rabies shot then I don't vaccinate them any more. They're all indoor only and my vet doesn't like to overvaccinate either.

    I pay between $55 and $75 for an exam. I space ours out because it's a stretch to get everyone at once!

    My vet charges $30 per visit - not per animal - so of course I schedule both of the Fuzzbuttz checkups together. Of course any meds, blood work, x-rays, etc needed, push the bill up. She is still the best and the least expensive vet around, and I have gone to her for what seems like forever.
