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?

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...

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. |

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

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. |
