Took my jack Russell to parkvets Cardiff for his flea treatment
And to check a loss at fur on his back
I was told the consultation fee of £31.49 on the phone when I made the appointment and asked if I had other pets,I told them about my yorkie and that I was thinking of booking him into be neutered
It was suggested I bring him in for a free nurse check to check his weight etc
On arrival Leo was seen first
And we went from a consultation fee to flea treatment to steroids and mousse for his back £80 expensive just for that but fair enough IF that's what he needed
I asked the price at this point so all ok so far
He then looked at my yorkie I said isn't it the nurse for the free check and was told he can do the free check so all good
He weighed him,then to get his heartbeat wanted to leave the room with him for the nurse to hold him
Baffled me as he's tiny but the vet insisted ,I then heard my dog yelping in the next room
Checking a heartbeat he said so what was he doing
He brought my dog back soaking wet and yelping telling me he needed a scan and blood tests umm for what ?
He then told me as it had taken longer than usual he would be charging me a consultation fee
At this point told him I wouldn't be paying that
He became aggressive in his tone and told me his boss said I must pay
I told him no and paid my bill for Leo and left
All they care about is money not animals and the free nurse check is clearly to fleece you out of more money
