Outraged at the Size of Your Last Vet Bill?

Did you spend more on your last vet bill than you did on rent? Are you always worried that you are being over charged for unnecessary procedures at the vet clinic? If you are you are definitely not alone.

Each year veterinary costs rise at twice the rate that your salary does. So if you think vet bills are becoming more costly you are right. Fortunately there are things you can do to get the power back. After all it is your money and you should have the power to choose how you spend it.

Before any procedures are done at the vet clinic make sure you always receive an estimate of the charges. More vets these days are providing estimates, but if you are not offered one, please ask for it, it is your right.

Starting with the estimate you can haggle with the vet about what is truly necessary. Ask them to explain each procedure on the estimate and what benefits it will have for your pet.

If money is an issue tell them to only do what is absolutely necessary. We love our pets, but most of the time they can get by with the basics.

There are lots of other simple techniques that can be used to prevent sticker shock at the vet clinic. If you are struggling to pay your vet bills it does not have to be that way. With just a little more knowledge you can get the care your pet needs at a price that will not leave you floored.
