I'm so disappointed *Update 10/8* see #29

I was dissapointed after Precious passed on and I got no card from My Vet at all.
We had a donation in her nmae to the Animal Welfare which was very nice,
I find that these sort of niceities are falling by the wayside sadly enough, even the Churches are getting rather impersonal.

Under the circumstances I'd be hurt too! But like others said - give it a little while before you say anything.

My vet doesn't send bills, never heard of that! Have to pay up front.

Anyhow, the billing dept / bookkeeper would be the one sending the bill. The techs and vets are the ones who send out cards from my vet. Hope this helps.

Well, this was different, considering the circumstances. Normally I have to pay as I go.

My vet, from when I used to live in Eastern Oregon, would send out cards exactly two weeks after. I think it's only because of gentle consideration. They want to give you time, it seems.

Also, they are very, very thoughtful! Usually everyone signs it (even their maintenance guy!) and puts a message in it.

I never got anything when my Sydney passed away... ; Guess my vet was to embarrased .. ; Well, she couldn't help it, it was my previous vet who told me that Sydney didn't need any meds for his heart YET

As I said, I guess it wouldn't bother me if I hadn't gotten the final bill so quickly. They didn't waste any time sending that out. I'll wait a while just in case the person who does the billing is separate from the one who sends out condolences, etc.

Keep in mind that we just ended the month and most places do their billing at that time. Probably why you got a bill so quickly. I really wouldn't hold that against them even though it seems very insensitive. I'd say billing was just doing their job and are probably unaware of any circumstances.

I received the newsletter today but still no condolence card. I find it difficult to believe that there were that many deaths at the clinic that they couldn't find the time to send out a card. I'm normally a patient person and I quickly forgive, especially if it's an oversight. Offices are busy places, especially vet offices. Still, right now I'm feeling like a number but I guess I shouldn't assume that my Puddy was special to anyone but me. (and my PT family) I'll give it another week.
