Very caring for our furkids. Compassionate. Loving. Always ask the cost before saying yes. We took our pregnant chihuahua in for an exam since she was super tiny. Only to insure her life was not in danger. They asked do you want to know how many? > said she. It cost 75 for an ultrasound whichwasn't health related. Not their fault> should have asked; how much before saying yes but it was aggrivating still considering the way it was proposed. Implying there wasn't a charge. Ask before saying yes.

So far so good. They do need to start a Senior dog owner help program. Those of us who are on SS, Medicaid, Housing....we need a reduced pay for our babies. They are what helps keep most of us sane and alive. Less cost and consideration would help.
