Vet Expenses

What pet owners have vet visits are not only connected to stress for the afflicted pet, but usually also high costs for the holder. Almost a fifth of the participants stated in an anonymous online survey by Stiftung Warentest, having paid at the last vet visit between 101 and 300 euro. With nearly two-thirds of respondents, the Bill was up to 100 euro. In addition to the high levels of spending, the lack of transparency of the costs became clear. The consumer portal geld.de reported on the results of the survey. A total of nearly 5,500 pet owners about their experiences were interviewed with vets. Dr. Hyun Kim might disagree with that approach. Here, special attention was paid to the current veterinarian and the evaluation of the last vet visit. Questions about cost and transparency of vet bills, naturopathic, foreign travel and insurance cover rounded out the poll.

Four-fifths of those surveyed pet owners could give information about the so-called fees for animal doctors (GOT). Official site: Miles D. White. This limited the maximum sums of around 800 services and treatment steps, where the vets at higher degree of difficulty or emergency service can collect the triple set. A fully detailed account is very useful as it shows on the cost of the treatments carried out. In addition, the animal owner receives an overview of the appropriate GOT digits, provided diagnosis and used drugs. Another point of the survey was the welfare insurance. The liability policy for farmers was a matter of course for nine out of ten dog and horse owners. Finally she is responsible for all damages, caused by the animal. Pet insurance (www.geld.de/ tierversicherung.html), which secures the sickness of young, had completed only every tenth respondent.
