"current! It's too expensive!" speaking of a visit to a pet cat at the end of october last year, the master of the pet from guangxi was unsure。
Among the consumption details he presented to journalists, treatment costs a total of $1924, of which the highest cost of $650 came from “24 biochemicals for health screening”. "i don't know much about other options, such as, for example, $200 for icu, and icu for cat to fall from high places and dislocated his mouth?"
It cost $880 to go to the pet hospital for a pet cat whose throat was stuck by an object. The doctor took an x-ray and took the alien out after anaesthesia, “more expensive than i took an alien from my throat”。
Penny, another pet owner from shanghai, said that her pet had spent nearly $20,000 on walking to the hospital for medical treatment. “in the course of the treatment, i was puzzled by the fees and amounts of the pet hospital and did not understand why it was so expensive and why so many tests were needed, one of which required $5,000 for an mri”。
Although suspected, penny paid for the bites for fear of delaying the pets' treatment, and despite the eventual recovery of the pets, she was always concerned about it, “it was likely that many unnecessary screenings were done”。
"the cat had only five months and spent thousands at the pet hospital." in response, the beijing citizen yang sail was deeply touched by the fact that her cat had recently suffered from cat-transmissible peritonealitis and was now being injected daily. "it's like paying for water, and i don't know what to do with an animal's illness. Doctors say it's for its health, and i can only pay."
Von nan, from shandong zinan, was given a “link warning” at the pet hospital for “suspension”. His pet dog suffered an eye injury and the pet hospital stated that “the dog's eyeball was in urgent need of surgery or would be in danger of blindness at a cost of $89,000”。
“i'm just saying i want to go to another hospital, which starts `call-to-kill', repeatedly saying `must do the surgery immediately, or be blind soon', pushing for surgery and paying for it.” van nam did not fully believe that he had taken a pet dog to other hospitals and consulted a number of practitioners, and obtained the same diagnosis: the dog had an inflammation. After wearing anti-inflammation pills, he recovered three days later。
Journalists summarized the consumption experience of several front-line urban pet owners and found that in the treatment of common diseases, the single cost of care for pets ranged from $200 to $2,000, and that diseases that were prone to relapse and difficult to cure, such as urination, were more expensive for repeated medical treatment. When a pet encounters complications such as heart disease, tumours, etc., medical expenses are more common in the short term。
On the third-party online complaints platform, journalists observed that, as of mid-january of this year, there were over 2,000 complaints about pet hospitals, most of which were related to excessive fees. Zhao li, all media correspondent
