The vet I use is *very* expensive. But she is amazing with Frodo. AMAZING. So even though I am paying triple what other places in the area charge, I have piece of mind. She doesn't skimp on things because he's being an a**hole, and she takes all the time we need to get through the visit with as little stress as possible for both Frodo and myself. She is also a holistic vet in the middle of the city, which is also going to drive prices.
Almost all of my friends here use this clinic, and I have yet to hear a bad word about them.
The only other place I have used that I was happy with was the clinic that SpringerLover worked at. And that was awesome because she was able to poke him with the needle to knock him out, not the scary vet
