For several years, we have been going to a very good vet practice with three caring and able vets. Prices are very reasonable for both services and medications compared to others in the area. They recently saved our 3 year old minitiature schnauzer who had acquired a serious liver infection. They kept him for 5 days on IV most of the time and pulled him through. Cost for his exams, IVs, blood work multiple times, medications, checking our other schnauzer, and a 20# bag of special dog food was $385 and it was worth every penny. I am retired and we like to minimize expense, but we don't question what they charge for the medications they prescribe.
