Honestly vets really don't try to milk you for your money and as a veterinary professional it's pretty insulting to hear that people feel that way. 200 for an annual exam shots and boarding is a pretty good deal. Your vet probably when all was said and done only made about 60 in profit. People don't realize that your vet has to pay for the medications to dispense as well as pay a staff to help your dog. Believe me more people skip out on their bill than you could possibly imagine. Vets don't make anywhere near as much as people think. They do their job because they want to help animals.
