lilypily Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The clinic I work at consultation fee is $40, which is on the cheaper side for our area. We don't see very many clients with pet insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarferama Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Our local vet charged us $70 for a consultation which lasted about 5 mins, was not impressed with the vet either. He was really trying to rush us along won't be going back to see him again. -Elise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
border14 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Our vet charges $50 for consultation I had seen her once where I was basically in and out and she charged nothing. She's worth every cent spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skwo2 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Mine is in Sydney is said to be $44, but then they add on GST, but work out to be $50. How much do they charge for C5 vaccination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldielover Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I think sometimes it depends on what else you get done during the visit, who you get, and what your relationship is with that vet or clinic. Sometimes i get charged a $29 consultation fee, sometimes $48. I'd like to ask why (time spent is around the same), but i don't want to get charged $48 each time hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angeo Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think $40 is quite fair....I haven't had my dogs long and its been a long time since I have had to visit the vets last I remember it was a bit over $50 for yearly innoculations...will shop around when needed I think...they do seem to vary alot...

Staffyluv Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 We are only charged about $30 for a consult as Ollie is at the vets a lot because he has cancer... If we go in just to get a prescription (with no consult) then we are not charged at all... if I call in to weigh him, he nearly always gets a quick check up in the waiting room by one of the vets for free.

Gracie Monsta Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 There are a couple of vets in Adelaide that don't charge a consult fee unless treatment is provided. My mother (she's a worry wart) takes her cocker to them. Not a bad idea, gives people peace of mind. I think they charge around $50 for the consult if treatment is provided.

Hathor Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 It does vary greatly - which is frustrating sometimes. Esp when people are shopping around. That always concerns me, because the client is concentrating on the cheapest price, and NOT on the quality of care given. My point - I would rather know what the vet is like. How he/she is with my pet, years of experience etc. If they happen to be cheap, then that's a bonus. If they are expensive - as long as I believe my pet is getting quality care and I trust the vet, then I would pay it. Oh, and my clinic charges $40 for consults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
