Eye Care for Animals in Pasadena charged me $157.00 for Baytril then I found it on-line for $6.35. I made the mistake of giving them my credit card information over the phone so that they could mail the meds. I decided to pick them up the following morning and just grabbed the package and left. When I opened the package at work and saw the invoice, I almost feel off my chair, but when I saw how much they really costed, I wanted to cry with anger. They refused to take back the meds and just give me a prescription so that I could purchase on-line. I had just picked up the meds two hour earlier when I called to ask for my money back. I had not even opened the bottle. Now how outrageous is that!

Just been to vet to get Frontline Combo and because I have been fortunate in having a healthy dog who has not been seen since Dec 07. I now have to pay £27.50 for a consultation for fleas??? and £12.70 for the prescription.
What was the point of the three year ban if this charge for scripts now means we dont really make any saving using other suppliers of drugs?

no wonder animals are neglected and denied treatment by owners who are unable to pay the outrageous costs vets charge, £11 just to write a prescription, and these professionals say they care for animals! A drug I can get for just £13 on the internet costs me £27 at the vets, when I asked about a script they said £11 charge just to sign a piece of paper, daylight robbery. You can never get round, them they always have an answer.
