Prices are now increased 2x yr to minimize the sticker shock.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality vet with more reasonable prices?

Corporate greed! Some Vets have done what some dentists have done - they are bought out by a corporation and now work for the corporation. They make money through incentives by the amount of work they perform. Shop around because there are reasonable vets out there. I have never heard anything positive about Buffalo Ridge.
