Just like human doctors, veterinarians are expected to meet minimum standards of care (as overseen by veterinary regulatory authorities). Thus, the quality of care your pet receives should not change based on the fees charged for services. However, if prices are considerably lower at one clinic, you should ask for clarification about what the procedure or treatment includes. Medications, medical techniques and products, anesthetics, and equipment can all affect the cost of services.You may find substantial differences in the level of care provided by that clinic.
