The pet store might be cheaper, but those annual vaccination visits are priceless.
My cell phone rings, it’s a client I have not seen in years. She is panicking because her senior pet (Maggie) has been having seizures for the past hour. What do I do? According to my records Maggie should have had a senior wellness exam 2 years ago. I rush her into our emergency care facility and do my best to alleviate the debilitating symptoms. Silently I wish she had come in for that annual visit. Maggie would have been vaccinated along with a senior wellness exam with lab work. I may have diagnosed a medical condition in Maggie which could have prevented this unexpected emergency visit.
So you ask does it cost more?
Sure, but isn’t it a small price to pay for a relationship with the person who could save your pets life one day.
