Title: Changed vets
Post by: Mark on November 23, 2007, 16:06:20 PM
While Iwas picking Alice up, I registered with the vet as I am impressed with them. They are open 7 days a week (emergencies only on Sunday). open 24 hours a day and will visit - none of which my vet does. I told them not to contact my vet until I had collected Clapton's Fortekor. Anyway, on the way back, I picked Clapton's tablets up and they had gone up another £3.50!  >:( - so £47.50 for 56 tabs  >:( - I felt like a traitor before that but now have no misgivings. I queried it with their receptionist and she said the pills are the same price but the "admin fee" has gone up - I said "don't worry, I won't be coming here any more"  :evillaugh:

Our vets do not have an admin fee. I get my Fortekor from Vet Uk about half price.

The good thing is, As it is a new vet, I will have no qualms about asking for a prescription. It's so comforting to know they are open 24hrs and will home visit if need be  :)

Very, although our vets have always offered home visits, but as you know they use Vets Now as well. But as preciously posted the only vet who doesn't I would not take a dying flea. He went to someones house to PTS a cat, Now my vets would not just PTS on someones say so, they would  first to see if a life can be saved but this vet has no qualms and if you say PTS then that is what they do. The vet then walked out of the house with the dead cat over his arm. The owner was heartbroken.

Good on you Mark, and hope you can get your Fortekor cheaper now. Home visits can be good, but not always an option
