I think it's a bargain for peace of mind given by a seasoned professional - and the advice was obviously correct as all are healthy (so I assume, anyway!)

Congrats on the new litter, I'm sure they're worth every penny
I'm well aware of that.

As a time served tradesman who was on call any day or night of the year for emergency work I well appreciate the premium for out of hours work.

But £330 for a check and advice to attend your vet the next day for the actual treatment? Really?

Having been a licensed greyhound trainer for many years at a professional track there is no one who appreciates the cost of keeping animals in tip top condition ( as I've paid the bills) or the professional qualifications of veterinary staff.

But once again.

£330 for a check up and advice to visit your own vet the next day for actual treatment? Really?
