Vets are cunts. That's plain and simple. They prey on the fact that you have a pet and you want to keep it healthy so they take the piss and rip you the fuck off like crazy.

My dog has a heart condition. He requires a Diuretic and an Ace inhibitor. With these meds, he's fine. These meds used to cost me around £13 per month in total for a months supply of each.

Recently, I decided to start getting them from an online vendor that requires a prescription in order to dispense. No problem, each month get a prescription from the vet, send a scan of it off to the company and for £7/month total, I get all the meds for the month - RESULT!

...Until the fucking Government decided to lift a 3 year block on charging for prescriptions ! Now my fucking vet wants a total of £11 for copies of the prescriptions. Add this onto the £7 and the total is £18 !!! How the fuck is that allowed? Forced to pay vets costs because they can charge extortionate fees for a prescription document.

What's worse is that when I conceded and asked how much it would cost me for the meds now directly from them, they told me £24 (£13.80 for one of the meds and £10.20 for the other (which was normally the more expensive one). When I asked why.. they told me that there's this "Cascade" law that states Vets MUST provide Vetinarary approved meds and not the human equivelents. FFS human equivelents are probably tested on animals anyway so what's the difference?

After kicking off at them, they miraculously found a different supplier and the overall charge is now £16. Not as bad but still a rip off !

What pisses me off even more is that

Frusemide (the Diuretic) was £0.04 per tablet online
Fortekor (the ace inhibitor) was £0.40 per tablet online.
Then there was a £1 delivery charge

Prior to getting the price down, the vet was going to charge me £0.92 per tablet for the frusemide. How the fuck can they do that when an online company can sell them for 4p each? Robbing cunts.

I can't fucking take him to the PDSA because I've got a job yet all the lazy cunts who can't be arsed getting a job (excluding those who are trying to get one), leech off the state get fucking Rottweilers, Great danes, Sharpei's, elephants and god knows what else and then get free fucking care and meds.

Fuckin joke
