aussielover Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hey guys, I don't normally price shop for vets but my girl has a few issues and has cost me a lot of money over the last few months and is likely going to need further treatments. She has atopy and getting it diagnosed by specialists and having her constant skin infections has cost me over to $1000 for the month. This is on top of her food, and flea and tick treatments. I only work part time due to being a uni student so at the moment I don't have a lot of spare cash. Of course I think she is worth every cent :D I am looking for a cheaper price for titre testing if possible though, my vet charges about the same as a vaccination and proheart so around $180. I'm looking for a vet in the sydney area that might be a bit cheaper than this? Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Stormies work seems to be really competitive. I think Pennant Hills??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks Clyde. We send directly to Vetpath WA so it's a bit cheaper for everyone. I'm pretty sure it's $85 for the Parvo and Distemper and the turnaround is usually around 3-5days. That's just to come in, have blood taken and sent off. If you wanted a check up at the same time then it would be a bit more :D But the added bonus is that you have the free option of meeting Orbit too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I had a Sydney Vet quote me $300! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Oh awesome! that is ,uch better than 180! I would love to meet orbit too!So its Pennant Hills vet then? Yep that's us. The beginning of the week is generally better - means prompt service from the couriers and faster results, cause I'm pretty sure the lab only runs the tests two days a week. ouch $300! But I think if we used our regular Sydney lab and put a consult fee on top of that price, it could come close to $300. I can sort of understand vets putting a consult fee on no matter what, because the whole thing can take up the time of a regular , particularly if you have a dog who objects to having blood taken.

Everythings Shiny Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 ActiVet Carlingford may be an option too if you still need the Titre testing done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
