Also another note, your clinic charges for the consult AND the C5? That's a little brutal. We just charge for the injection, not the visit unless it is booster puppy shots purely because Owners tend to have more questions to ask than just coming in for the shot. |

Aww a gsd, so cute! I would recommend it for now then, considering the vet visits. I'm not sure what the laws are like for you, but with desexing as well, that can cost a bit for a big dog [the price is calculated from weight because of the drugs used is by weight] so I think it would suit you. Side note, as he gets older, GSD are a little prone to lumbar spine and hind limb issues. Mostly nerve based or muscle weakness, something to do with that sloped posture they have. So in the coming years get onto that! It will benefit you haha Oh as well, not sure if where you are has something similar or not but in Aus we have something called "VetPay" which is like a service that you pay the vet bill back in fortnightly chunks :) |

Boorux Thank you! I have an 8-month-old GSD (as of yesterday! He's getting so big so fast!), and I need to get him his DAPP. He would have had it by now if I had the funds, so now he has to get the initial shot again, and then get the booster a couple months after that. The shots aren't too expensive, it's that mixed with the in-office visit cost that drives it up. $102.06 for this visit. Not too bad, but it could be better with insurance, I think. |

Hi there! Vet med girlie pop here. I think that pet insurance is important IF 1. you have a young [0-4 years] dog, or an old [10+] dog. Lots of vet visits and things you can claim, especially older dogs when they start getting arthritis etc with the ongoing meds. 3. If you have a breed susceptible to genetic conditions. I.e. respiratory issues with brachycephalic, allergies with oodles, IVDD in sausage dogs and so on. However, an alternative could be to set aside $10-20 per pay check into a pet fund so if something does happen, then you can use that instead of insurance ^^ |

Does anyone here with pets have insurance or is it just a croc? |

purdy Thank you, lol. I'm gonna wait until I'm a little more awake, though. Still kinda sleepy. I might just go back to sleep now. Not for too long, though, since I have a package I gotta look out for. |

I have to clip my dog's claws... They're black. Wish me tons of luck. ~_~ |

My dog wanted me to get his bone that was stuck under my desk. Why I thought it would be a good idea to do so is beyond me. The teeth scraping is insane. |
