4 Star Vet Care but 0 Star for Costs

Beware of the huge mark-up on the medications prescribed! Do yourself a favour, go online and find the very same medicines for less than HALF the price (delivery included!) - it is quite staggering. Of course, you expect Vets. to charge a higher price than online (due to volumes, etc.) - but 220% more? Is that reasonable? We all know the answer to that! Then we get to the charge levied to write out a presciption!!! The online pharmacies have vast experience of what Vet Practises charge for presciptions across the UK, that charge is £6 (maybe £8 from the more greedy Vets.) Of course, you can guess that Gorman, Slater Main and Partners charge vastly more than this. Veterinary care has never been cheap - but, does it warrant such excessive charges? I don't think so!
