Wow do I feel like a fool! I’ve used Norwin Veterinary Hospital since moving here over 10 years ago. I find out now that they have been charging more than double the typical retail prices on medications and vaccines! The push on meds has gotten worse over the last couple of years but on this visit I had taken my cat in along with a fecal sample because of signs of parasites. Before the test result is even back the Vet recommends that I buy the Metronidazole , Panacur, Profender de-wormer, a pro biotic, a B-12 shot, diarrhea preventative and a new advanced product from Frontline. Additionally the cat is due for the Rabies and Leukemia booster ($124.50 additional for that visit) and that will have to be done in a two week follow up visit. I squirm and pick and choose because I can’t afford all of this as it is. Out of this entire list, I left with Panacur and Profender for this cat and the other one at home and the bill is $204. I check prices with another vet and online and I discover the typical retail price for these items is less than half of what they have charged me. For instance, they charge $21 for a 3 pack of 2g Panacur, online it’s @12.50, the new Vet charges $10.00. I check with my new vet and am told the annual Rabies vaccine that I’ve been paying $47.50 for is $20. The bottom line is that I could afford anti-diarrheal medicine and the full course of antibiotics if I were not being overcharged. The cats have been undertreated because of these mark-ups. This has happened before and they have looked me straight in the eye all of this time seeing that I can’t afford everything recommended because of what they have marked it up to. I know for a fact that manufacturers provide a list of suggested retail prices as a guideline to Vets. This Vet’s response is that this is a free market enterprise and he has overhead to pay for….electricity, building space, specialty equipment like Sonograms and hospital accreditations to conform to. My reply is that in a free market enterprise, I would be given a prescription and an opportunity to purchase the medications at a place of my choosing. The direct result of his concept of ‘free market enterprise’ is that my cat goes under treated in order to pay for his credentials or someone else’s sonogram. My hope is that they can find a way to help animals and stay in business, but I'm going elsewhere.
