It’s not just vets…the frickin’ groomer downtown is booked out to July!
Learned this first hand last month when we took our pet to the emergency vet & were informed we had to wait in the parking lot for a minimum of 6 hours before they could see us. Plus if we left for any reason we would lose our place in line.
Yikes, prices will be going up bigtime then. I’m already pretty selective about going so prices going up will only make me even more selective on when to go.
Vets who over charge, take advantage of human love for their animals, then during covid oh don’t come inside, no I dont feel their pain. They will be the last to fully open, get back to normal business.
Doug, I know what you mean. I absolutely despise the wait in your car while the vet sees your pet and calls you routine and yes it’s still going on. I’m starting to think that system is not about COVID safety and more about not having to see and deal with people face to face even though our pets would be much more comfortable in us being with them. It’s time to end that nonsense and require masks if you must, but let us come in with our pets.
The “don’t come inside” part was tough at the emergency vet. I trust my regular vet to do the right thing whether we’re in there or not but the emergency vet keep us waiting for hours which was ridiculous.
Their diagnosis was drastic & our vet disagreed with the diagnosis and saved our pet a lot of pain and recovery and us a lot of unnecessary expense.
RE, I’m glad you were able to get a second opinion from your trusted vet and it worked out. I hope your beloved pet wasn’t in a lot of pain for that six hours you waited. I couldn’t imagine needing to go to the emergency vet and having to wait six hours, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of those type places around this area. We clearly don’t have enough of them if that’s the case.
This article completely leaves out the fact that vets make up a disproportional amount of suicides each year and have for years. It’s never been an easy job.
That is tragic and speaks to how many of them truly care about their patients which I’m sure is why they became vets in the first place. It certainly is not an easy job and I don’t envy their current workloads. I’m sure it will be years before they get enough to cover.
