We definitely paid a premium and he had his surgery at the clinic in heritage meadows. One thing though is all of our follow up appointments were free, so keep in mind paying more up front doesn't necessarily mean you pay more in the long run.

I'm a huge animal lover but I have to say I would never hand over $7000 to a vet for any operation, I would take my companion on a holiday to Mexico first and pay 5% of that.
I guess the rumors are true that vets make more money than human doctors.
I think it's time for some price regulations.
