i was listening on the radio a few months back, on the bill good show (980AM i think?) they had a bit on how the vet industry doesn't have regulated prices and they are free to charge whatever they want. he had a caller complain that he went to a specific vet in the west end(not sure the name) and wanted to get his 2 dogs fixed, they quoted him $500+ because they were a "special breed" (i dono what kind). his original breeder recommended this vet on kingsway & joyce and they charged him about $150-200 or so for both dogs.
during the broadcast they had a bunch of callers with the same problem and a representative of the vet association of bc. they mostly talked about how vets can charge whatever they want and still legal, and how the government should regulate prices because people are gteting ripped off.
my gf & i take our cats to the Kingsway Vet Clinic (not to be confused with Kingsway Animal Hospital) and i've had cats fixed, shots, checkups and everything done there. prices are really good, staff knowledge is excellent and friendly, the place looks kinda ghetto outside but not so bad inside.
