Vets and Vet Nurses are lovely and very helpful I love the full report you get given at the end of the consultation reviewing everything about your pet.

I had been taking my dog to this Vet. Went for a routine annual vaccination and it was discovered by the Vet that my dog has Cushing's Disease. The treatment is medication and my dog has to take the medication for the duration of her life. The cost of the medication is $141 for 30mg x 30 and my dog needs 2 x 30mg daily. As there are several other pharmacies within Australia who can provide this medication for $170 for 60mg x 100. This is significantly cheaper than the Vet but the pharmacies require a prescription from a Vet. I asked for a Rx but the Vet refused to give a Rx saying it wasn't allowed in their protocol. This Vet just wants to get rich off me and wouldn't consider my financial situation so i have taken my business elsewhere. The other big cost with Cushing's Disease is the initial blood tests for diagnosis and correct dosage. By law a Vet is required to provide a Rx if you ask for it. Other Vets do provide Rx. Their loss. I guess they won't be able to drive their BMW's anymore when people realize they can get the medications cheaper elsewhere.

Approximate cost: $800
