Before you complain about how much it costs to go to the vet, keep in mind the vet clinic has to pay to stay alive and run. There’s no government funding, no HMO funding, no insurance funding. It’s all coming out of the clinics income. This list isn’t even comprehensive and doesn’t include staff wages. Techs aren’t in it for the money. We don’t make much at all(barely minimum wage most places) and usually don’t get benefits or overtime compensation. VeterinaryMedicine
