Although finally I was unable to accept the terms of invitation the proposal so far influenced me as to bring about a species of mental stock-taking, the first result of which was the discovery of my own lamentable ignorance regarding much that I had been asked to impart to others; the second, a resolution to amend this state of things as soon and as thoroughly as possible.
The work I then undertook has been helpful to myself, and I have reason to believe that the portions published have not been without value to others. The present effort is perhaps of a more ambitious character than its predecessors, and aims at furnishing English readers with a concise account of the most recent views regarding the practice of veterinary surgery from the standpoint of both British and Continental authorities.

It will be divided into three volumes, of which this is the first ; the second volume will deal with General, and the third with Regional Surgery. The second and third volumes are now in hand, and I trust that one, at least, may be published shortly. Regarding that now submitted, however, I trust no one will be deceived into ascribing to me greater merit than I possess.
The other reason his services run on the higher end is that he practices in a busy metro area that has a high cost of living with higher property taxes, mortgage rates, utility costs, and insurance premiums. It seems overwhelming, but all of those things play a role in veterinary pricing. Nonetheless, even with the incredible level of education and expertise behind it, his pricing can never compare to human medicine. $1600 vs. $16,000 is an immense difference!
Also unlike human hospitals with huge bankrolls, every single dollar the clinic makes goes RIGHT back into payroll for doctors, techs, kennel staff, receptionists, janitors, etc. as well as equipment rentals/repairs/maintenance/upgrades, dry goods such as food and supplements, medications/syringes/needles/gauze/other medical supplies, electric bills, water bills, trash/biohazard disposal, software licensing and server backup, property taxes, mortgage payments, malpractice insurance, liability insurance, you name it. Our property taxes this year were approximately $20,000 out of pocket. A practice in Miami or Chicago will pay far more than that.
Then we have the equipment needed to properly diagnose and treat our patients. Do you know how much that digital x-ray machine along with the licensed software costs a clinic out of pocket? How about the ultrasonic dental scaler? The anesthesia equipment? The blood diagnostic machines? The ultrasound machine, or those overhead surgery lights, or that $2500 fluid pump keeping that cat with kidney failure alive? We have 6 of those. Most hospitals have over a dozen or more.
All the equipment we use has to be purchased or leased, maintained, updated, fixed, and backed up (software). Charging $150 for a set of radiographs (x-rays) barely chips into the $25,000 up front cost we paid to buy it so that we could provide better, clearer diagnostic imagery; for example, all of the Labradors and German Shepherds we see with hip issues.
This is probably the #1 topic veterinary professionals hear about or constantly get trashed for due to requiring deposits or upfront payments before hospitalization or large procedures, not offering payment plans, etc.
So when a client asks us to please bend the rules for them, they are joining several others that day that also already asked for free services, surgery without deposits, or a payment plan. How can we possibly do that for all of them? Or how do we pick and choose who we do it for and who we do not? What about all those who never follow through on payment plans and end up getting sent to collections? Unfortunately that is what happens in most cases.
Our animal hospital here in Chattanooga is one of around 85 practices in the area, which is a ridiculously high number in a metro area of about 400,000 people. Out of those 85, we are one of, if not THE, lowest priced in terms of products, services, surgeries, etc. Our business model is based on low-cost, high-volume, high-quality. Because of this, we are able to help an immense number of owners keep their pets healthy and save them when something unfortunate happens. We are able to offer this kind of pricing and help to our 155,000+ patients without compromising availability, quality of care, quality of supplies and products, knowledge and training, technological availability, and sterility of environment/tools.
Before you get upset when your Vet provides an estimate for a treatment or surgery that costs several hundred to several thousand dollars, please keep in mind everything that goes into that pricing and the area you live in. Even a simple office/exam fee is paying for the availability, education, experience, knowledge, and time of the technician and doctor that see your pet.
The bottom line is that we are here to help animals, and these are the issues and elements that go into being able to do exactly that. Hopefully this aids in a better understanding and improved relationships!
The Dollars and Sense of Owning a PetÂ
 Sharing your home with a pet is one of life's great pleasures. Pets can bring a sense of companionship, love, fun and adventure that can be found nowhere else. Veterinary medicine has made great strides in recent years. New treatments and diagnostic techniques have raised the standard of care for animals and have given owners many more options when it comes to treating illness or injury. With these advances have come increased costs, so it is more important than ever to take all the steps you can to keep your pet happy and healthy.
The old saying that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" holds true when it comes to the health of your pet. The more responsibility you accept to keep your pet healthy, the fewer veterinary bills you will face. And, as it happens, some of the most effective preventative techniques start in the home. ?-back to top
Nothing will help your pet stay healthy more than maintaining its proper weight. Animals in America these days are suffering an epidemic of obesity that brings with it severe impacts on health. Being over-weight will bring on arthritis that can cripple your pet and result in the need for expensive surgery. Diabetes and cancer are also more prevalent in obese animals, as are breathing problems, spinal disease and smelly skin conditions.
tag_hash_109By the age of three, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of gum disease. Symptoms include yellow and brown build up of tartar along the gumline, inflamed gums and bad breath. Infections that begin in the gums can spread to major organs with grave consequences. Heart and kidney disease are the most common problems. Just as with humans, the first line of defense against gum disease is regular tooth brushing. You can establish a brushing routine with your pet that will help maintain optimal dental health and forestall the serious health issues that can result from gum infections.

Along with so many other veterinary clinics, we have been booking our available appointments well into the next few months. We do our best to accommodate each and every pet by strategically scheduling appointments, but even then, we often need to defer pets to a later date.
Starting 9/19/2022 we will require a $75 dollar deposit when scheduling surgery. This deposit will be applied to your procedure when you bring your pet in. If you need to reschedule, we need at least a 48-hour notice (on Friday for Monday appointments) so we can try to give that appointment to someone who needs it. If you fail to give us notice you will forfeit your deposit. The deposit will not be refunded.
We will also be requiring a $25 dollar deposit per first appointment for all new clients scheduling with us. This will also be non-refundable without a 48-hour notice (Friday for Monday appointments).
Sec. 22-380f. Payment for adoption of unspayed or unneutered dog or cat. Connecticut Humane Society exemption. Report. Termination of exemption. (a) No pound shall sell or give away any unspayed or unneutered dog or cat to any person unless such pound receives forty-five dollars from the person buying or adopting such dog or cat. Funds received pursuant to this section shall be paid quarterly by the municipality into the animal population control account established under section 22-380g. At the time of receipt of such payment, the pound shall complete a voucher, for the purpose of benefits, as provided in section 22-380i, for the sterilization and vaccination of such dog or cat and (1) provide the voucher to the person buying or adopting such dog or cat, or (2) retain such voucher and submit it to a participating veterinarian for such sterilization and vaccination before releasing the dog or cat to the person buying or adopting the dog or cat. Any such voucher shall be on a form provided by the commissioner and signed (A) by the eligible owner if the voucher is provided to the person buying or adopting the dog or cat, or (B) by a representative of the pound if the pound retains the voucher. Such voucher shall become void after sixty days from the date of purchase or adoption unless a participating veterinarian certifies that the dog or cat is medically unfit for surgery. Such certification shall be on a form provided by the commissioner and specify a date by which such dog or cat may be fit for sterilization. If the surgery is performed more than thirty days after such specified date, the voucher shall become void. In the case of a dog or cat that has been previously sterilized or is permanently medically unfit for sterilization, as determined by a participating veterinarian, the voucher shall be void and the eligible owner may apply to the commissioner for a refund in the amount of forty-five dollars. If a dog or cat has pyometra and is not purchased or adopted from a pound, a representative of the pound may complete a voucher, for the purpose of benefits, as provided in section 22-380i, and submit such voucher to a participating veterinarian for the sterilization and vaccination of such dog or cat. 152ee80cbc
