Cats
Now more and more families are raising pets, cats and dogs are the most prevalent, and raising cats will always be less than a regular body checkups, vaccinations, and when you are sick, prescriptions for injections and medications, etc., and a lot of parents bemoaned the fact that it is more expensive than we are to see a doctor. As far as medical expenses are concerned, it's a lot of money for some families, so why is it more expensive for cats to see a doctor than for people?
Many compassionate pet owners wonder the same thing, and it feels like while the economy is tanking and wages are falling, the price of veterinary care seems to keep going up, or at least not down. Of course, now that you've fed your pet, you have to treat it like a family member, and you can't ignore it or be forced to manage it.
Canada has the privilege of government-paid medical care. Yes, some people will object to this system, but that's not where the point of our concern lies. The fact is that many people in Canada don't realize what the actual cost of healthcare actually is. Things like x-rays, Bill's antibiotics, tests, or a vet's house call. This one could cost you $6,090, and x-rays can typically cost $150 or more. In fact, these costs are usually far less than the per capita cost of healthcare. You just never see your medical bills, so it can be hard to understand.
The first part is called "fixed costs". This obviously involves the cost of supplies, such as medications, catheters, bandage materials, needles, or any other items used during your pet's treatment. It also involves electricity, office supplies, etc., and all of these "fixed costs" are factored into the cost of services. The second component is labor. For any type of veterinarian, it is also generally charged on an hourly basis.
Wu Zhongheng, who has been engaged in pet diagnosis and treatment in Guangzhou for many years, said that pet diagnosis and treatment is much less in demand than human medical treatment, and there is no state subsidy, and it is not a necessity, so the cost of all aspects of the medical treatment is even higher than that of human beings.
Wu Zhongheng believes that the utilization rate of animal diagnosis and treatment instruments is much lower than that of human beings, and the cost of a single treatment is high, and the charges are correspondingly high. He said, for example, he worked in the hospital introduced the animal's digestive endoscopy, 100,000 yuan of machines, only 2 times a month, amortized to each charge of about 2,000 yuan, many pet owners feel expensive. On the contrary, human hospitals charge several hundred dollars a time for the same machine at a similar price, and people line up to get it done every day.
Some industry insiders said that the industry development can not keep up with the customer's requirements, which is the pet diagnosis and treatment industry currently exists the most fundamental problem, and Guangzhou's current pet diagnosis and treatment market, there is also a mixed situation. For pet hospitals, there are facades, utilities, medical equipment and other aspects of the investment, as well as personnel training, etc., each of which requires money, and these costs, surely folded into the cost of diagnosis and treatment, if the hospital are unable to make ends meet, then the hospital can still develop?
The prosperity of the pet market, driven by the rapid proliferation of pet hospitals and pet clinics, it is predicted that pet health care will become China's real estate, eyeglasses, communications, pharmaceuticals, etc., after the 11th profiteering industry. However, at present, many pet hospitals in the management of the "vacuum", indiscriminate diagnosis and treatment, indiscriminate fees and other phenomena are endless, the quality of service is uneven, and urgently need to be standardized.
In fact, for most families, cats are their family members, in order to minimize the high cost of medical care for cats, which depends on the owner's weekday feeding and care, cat health, naturally away from disease.
