Uk Dog Owners

As a few will know at the end of March I had to have my last dog Fizz put to sleep.

For the last few years Fizz had Hypothyroidism (under active Thyroid) which meant she had to go to the vets every six months for a blood test and then I would obtain a prescription, you can only buy these meds with a prescription, and buy the meds online. Half price compared to the vets prices.

I’ve got a few hundred Thyforon tablets that are going spare if anyone has a dog that is on this medication.

Don’t want anything for them, I’d rather give them away rather than dispose of them.

 

Them are the ones mate.

200 microgram.




There’s 48 strips expiry date 08/2021.

 

No problem mate, there yours

 

I think my vet wanted 20p per tab and I was buying for 9p/10p per tab.

As you say the vet fees are

 

Glad to hear they’ve arrived mate

Just thought they were only posted via the Post Office yesterday,so a shout for our postal workers is now in order

 

Thanks Ade.

I’ve been around/owned dogs(gun dogs) virtually all my life and finally decided no more.
Although a gamekeeper friend offered me a Cocker Spaniel bitch pup for nowt, it was touch and go.

 

Vet fees can be astronomical and what I’ve found of late is that if any of my dogs wanted treatment and I asked for a estimate the vet would ask if the dog had insurance.
There must be a price for insurance work and non insurance work

 

Totally agree Jez.

Vets know they can charge astronomically for pet treatments as it tugs at the owners heart strings.

Also the prices they charge for everyday pet care,worm tabs,flee treatment etc is unreal when you can buy the same product online for half the price

 

Don’t understand that “they deliberately price us out knowing we will just walk away”

If they did that then there would be no insurance companies, therefore putting themselves out of business or am I missing something here. Unless you mean for older dogs,then I totally agree.
