Prices are now increased 2x yr to minimize the sticker shock.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality vet with more reasonable prices?
First off, your pet does NOT NEED to be vaccinated every year. There is a test called Titer and it tests the levels of your pet’s immune system as well as the level of the vaccines in their bodies. Most people do not know this as veterinarians make most of their money through pushing vaccinations that are not necessary. When a 8lb dog gets a vaccination it is in a vial that is given to a 140lb dog, therefore your little 8lb dog is getting over vaccinated which leads to cancer amongst other things.

Do your homework and check out Titer Testing and if your vet disagrees, well then it’s time to move on to a vet that really cares for your pet’s well being.
