A lot of vets I know will match prices online if it's the same product they carry. Was the RX the exact same brand/manufacturer? Also to think that there isn't a price to pay for a vet stocking material that you can have same day that takes up space on his shelves is a little naive. Of course a wholesale distribution warehouse online would have them cheaper, if the vet carried them you'd think he'd price match tho.

The first time he was 4 months old, we owned him for less than one month. While we were on vacation and my daughter was watching him, he found mouse poison hidden behind other stuff in our shed. He was only like 5lbs at the time, she found him eating it. She brought him to the emergency clinic one town away and they pumped his stomach. Total cost > 1k. However, when we adopted him (for a cost of $ 450), we were given free insurance for one month and they paid for about $ 700 of it. I felt bad they had to cover it, so I kept the insurance after the free month expired.
Then about 1 year later my wife was walking him and she said he ate something but she didn't know what it was. He was going downhill over the next few hours. In the middle of the night we took him to the emergency clinic again and they said they could see his throat was irritated and closing. They treated him, gave us some meds and sent us home. Another $ 600 bill that the insurance covered most of.
The stupid little fuck hasn't eaten something he shouldn't since that day, two years now.
I probably owned a dog for 30 years prior to owning Kemba, never had any such prior experience. Then he goes in twice within twelve months. Luckily for me we had insurance on him, the only time in my life we'd ever had such.
a lot of you are talking about your vet and confusing it with the vet hospital.Our vets are one thing but the emergency hospitals is what i believe the subject was being discussed.My vet is no where near the pricing compared to the vet hospital,but when we are forced to go to the vet hospital thats when they have us by the balls.Its amazing how everything seems to happen on a sunday or after vet hours with our pets and then we have to take that ride to the rip off hospital.
My cousin was dog sitting her dog several years ago while she was on vacation, well the dog all of a sudden got really sick & was looking like she was gonna die, he drove around until he found one if those 24/7 vet hospitals......well the dog almost died but they operated & whatever else they did & she got better, they hand feed the dog her medicine every day, & will have to until she dies.
The medical bill was around $5,000......I looked at my cousin & thought she was crazy.....but to each their own.
