    Administration costs are always exploitative. That's life.

    Claim it from your insurers.

    Yup, it's nothing new, I've heard of people paying doctors more than that just to sign passport application forms.

    It's a lower amount than a solicitor would charge for filling in a form, and £5 is hardly the end of the world.

    Did anyone think that this was going to be about a vet that stole a cat or something, or was it just me?:o

    It costs more than that if they pick the phone up,still vets charges are excessive though.

    Vets are expensive, but I don't think they're excessive given the amount of training they have to have in order to practice. Having animals costs money, that's just the way it is.

    Assuming pet insurance is anything like private health, you won't be able to claim back their fee for filling in the from. Think my doctor took 20 quid last time I need a form filling...

    Yes pets cost money but it does annoy me when i spend £40 on worming pills for my 2 dogs and 1 cat,to be told in the pub later that the most the vet paid for the pills,was £10.I do not mind anyone making a profit but that did seem
    excessive to me,i know that running a practice costs money
    but i still think they over charge people,as when your pet is ill you are prepared to pay almost anything.Well i am anyway.

    I agree, I'd sell just about everything I own to ensure my monsters were ok :o:D

    I try to think of vets like any other professional, they charge for their time and expertise as much as for the actual treatment. It costs me £25+ VAT each time I take my cat to the vet, which has been quite frequent lately as he's developed a severe allergy to something. That's £100 an hour they earn, which is no greater than a solicitor or accountant would charge.
