Vet quoted £500 to remove hamster's teeth

[super jumbe]

One pet owner was quoted £450 to £500 for her hamster’s teeth to be removed

It is now investigating why that might be the case.
BBC Wales has spoken to other pet owners who have received expensive vet bills.
These include a dog walker who considered selling her flat so that she could pay £4,000 for emergency treatment for her dog, and others who have cancelled their insurance due to spiralling costs


Danielle Amos was shocked by the costly quote she received

More than half of all UK households have a pet, and last year the RSPCA found that four in 10 reported they had either gone without food, used a foodbank or stopped visiting a vet due to financial pressures.

There are things you can do to bring vet bills down.

Vet care charity the PDSA has seen an upsurge in demand from pet owners needing help.
Its advice is to avoid DIY remedies, seek treatment early and have an honest conversation with your vet about what you can afford, in case alternative, cheaper treatment options are available.
