Nowadays, it costs more to see a dog than a human.
Before my dog got sick, I took it to the hospital, checked it down to just a small cold, but a small cold cost hundreds of dollars. At first I thought I was pitched,but then after a friend explained, found that these are normal prices, because the costs required to open a store are very expensive. First of all it takes money to open a store, and if the store is in a central location then the rent will definitely be particularly expensive.
Plus the fact that the pet hospital must have a nurse, a vet and even a groomer who cuts the pet's hair. And some of the regular hospitals must have a certificate of pet doctors, this certificate is very difficult to test up, so the natural salary is also high. store personnel wages rose high, then naturally to the pet doctor will become expensive. You should find that our pet stores are not as developed as foreign countries, so most of the drugs used in pet stores are imported, and the price of such drugs is much more expensive than that of domestic ones.
In fact, from one article above we can see that some of our common vaccines, if it is a domestic, high quality vaccines to a few hundred dollars, ordinary as long as a few dozen. But if it is imported, then several hundred is only the starting price, some even to reach thousands. And some regular hospitals have all kinds of equipment inside, such as ultrasound as well as X-rays for pets when they are sick. All of this equipment costs money and has to be paid for by the owner, and the cost is so high that it makes it so expensive to see your pet.
Of course there are some stores that charge exorbitant prices in life, but these stores tend to close down when they don't operate for long, after all, consumers are not stupid.
