Veterinary Fees - Rip Off?

Hi All,
I've been quoted about 320 per year for two king charles cav. puppies. How does that sound? Also, do you know of insurers other than allianz?

thanks,

Stephen.

I have experience of that place myself. An arm and a leg doesn't go near. Plus we had to have our dog out of the clinic between 7 and 8 the following morning to take it to our own vet, who we also had to pay.

I wouldn't rush back, yet I don't know if push came to shove if I could let my mutt suffer. Might try some Calpol or Brufin.
 
I wouldn't try human medication on an animal. It may not have the same effect on them and also (as medication is usually titrated to the weight of the human) what the usual dose is for a child coulld be a huge overdose for an animal. Drugs (for humans) testing has to be tested on primates, who are close to humans physiologically - and look what happened at that testing place in England, when some people died and others were in ITU for ages.
