Default Vets overcharge Customers

One family on SkyNewsHD
got their dog in an operation it needed.


They broke the Bill Down
one item shocked them,
it is paracetamol at £20

He said in the supermarket it would be 60p.

Vets are claiming they have to buy everything at
High Price?

The costs are really shocking for pet care.

Even to the medication they prescribe.
It's a real money making machine in pet care.

Getting worse too.

Sadly this is nothing new

Our beautiful dog took poorly .. vets took him in “for tests” and treatment

Final bill about 6 days later - without a diagnosis or cure was £2,400 !!

They charged £100 plus VAT per DAY simply for overnight lodging and care ..

Poor little guy had to be put down around a week later .. costing £225 .. we brought the body home and I buried him in our back garden..


The only good news is that he was insured so we only paid about £150 of the £2,400


Though because of his age ( 16 ) we had been paying PetPlan £100 per month for the insurance

There is a reason people need pet insurance. Vets have been scamming it since i was a kid
