There is a insurance additional charge imo. My two are with pets at home monthly to get shots twice a year and flea and worm treatment (even tho they are indoor cats) but for anything else we used to use a local vet called zalmans.
Vets for pets looked at the cats red gums and said forl and they needed teeth out. Zalmans looked and said brush teeth, here have a pair of toothbrushes and let's see in three and six months and all in was £60.Now they have been taken over by medivet. Who are trying to take over the world...

No it was all fine with me.
It was a bit odd re costs for us. Kipps isn’t insured and this was made clear at the outset, as was our moral / ethical / whatever the right word is opposition to spending thousands and thousands on an animal. Initially it was “you’re looking at 1500’ish quid at the very outset for scans, bloods, x-rays etc and if surgery is involved would be at least another 2-3k “. I explained again that we don’t agree in spending thousands on chasing problems on small animals so we would not be doing that. The costs then seemed to shrink substantially to a level we were prepared to entertain.
I have to say I find it a bit odd / distasteful that a vets would mention their 0% payment plans for the big bill before ever mentioning they could shave the costs by +70%.
