Gracie needed her allergy shot, and Kona had a respiratory infection. The total bill was $389. She's had the shot before, and I remember it being less than $50. This time it was $248 for the drug, and an additional $26 for being injected (and it was given by one of the techs!)

I was in shock! It is a large practice with several vets, and this guy is our favorite, but--good lord! Our local vet here is a one man show, but I don't like him. He doesn't like giant dogs, and actually mistreated one of our former girl Pyrs. But he is cheap!
