re: Is there a bigger rip off than veterinarians?

My daughter just graduated vet school this past spring and she had four offers on the table before graduating. COVID and everybody getting a pet to keep them company during quarantine has led to a situation where the demand for pet care has outstripped the supply. These clinics are paying top dollar for a a licensed vet. This cost is passed directly on to you. And yes, those corporate-owned clinics are under pressure for upsells. Find a clinic not owned by a corporation and those add-ons will disappear. My daughter turned down a higher offer because she didn’t want the pressure of upsells at a corporate clinic.
