Here's another Vets tale, Ten Years ago took my Cocker Spaniel to the Vets with a serious condition, operation required I asked approximately how much for the operation ( the dog was eleven years old). The quote was about Two hundred pounds, so I said ok crack on. Operation done picked up the Dog, the bill was four hundred pounds and odd ( 21 pence?) I paid the bill but also questioned the difference from the quote. The Vet called and said to call in and he would go through the bill and explain the break down, which I did. I told the vet I didn't have a problem with what he had done for my dog but the quote and final bill seemed miles apart. I paid the bill (part of the bill was for 3 plastic gloves. I kid you not.) I went to reception to book out and the young lady on the desk said that's £30.00 for another consultation.
