"Fixed expenses such as food rations, vaccines, anthelmintic drugs, and insurance cost more than 10,000 yuan a year, but most of them are still sick. The check-up fee starts at 300 yuan with no cap. Once my cat ate slippers for surgery, which cost 5,000 yuan. Calculated in one year, my seven cats will cost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan." On December 15, when Wang Yingying took stock of her own cat-raising expenses, she was also shocked. Some friends complain that medical treatment for pets is more expensive than for people. A blood test, an injection, and a prescription cost more than a thousand. If you need to take X-rays or surgery, it is even more expensive.

1. Treatment is complex

The biggest difference between humans and animals in medical treatment is that humans have their own thinking and can express their discomfort in language. However, Pets cannot speak and cannot express their physical condition in words. Therefore, pet medical treatment requires many tedious examinations, which adds great difficulties to pet medical treatment.

2. Instruments and equipment are expensive

For any pet hospital, equipment is the top priority, but if you want to buy any Each piece of equipment requires a lot of money. In addition to some common equipment, better pet hospitals will also be equipped with CT and magnetic resonance imaging.

3. The high cost of vaccines and drugs

The price of various drugs in pet hospitals has always been a drawback for pet owners. In fact, It is not cheap for pet hospitals to purchase medicines. Since the audience is relatively small, the production volume of veterinary drugs is far less than the production volume of human drugs. Therefore, if it is divided into each medicine, the unit price cannot be reduced. From this point of view, medical treatment for pets is not as expensive as for humans.

Of course, when pets need medical treatment, you need to think carefully when choosing a pet hospital. You must choose a formal hospital that is approved by the state. To a certain extent, the transparency of fees is much more formal!
