    Who is to blame for the skyrocketing costs of veterinary care?

    Inflation has hit the veterinary industry as badly (if not worse) as others in the post COVID19 world. Still, inflation is not the only driver of increased veterinary health care costs. Many of us can look back to a time when well care and sick visits set us back maybe a few hundred dollars per year, but now one visit with a significant illness or injury can cost several hundred, even thousands of dollars. In this episode, Dr. Roger explains the dramatic change in veterinary costs in comparison to years past, and explains the main reasons for the change. In an upcoming episode, Dr. Roger will offer solutions to the rising cost of veterinary care, and how you can ensure your pets can receive quality veterinary care without taking a serious financial hit....so stay tuned!
