About the work

A closer look.

One pet, one town, one practice. You get that practice's own prices, dated, with the name of whoever told me: the exam, the shots, and whatever procedure you are actually facing. What I do: read the practice's published fee pages myself, then email the front desk one narrow question and keep the reply. You get the numbers, the source line for each one, and the two things the desk has to be asked before anyone books you: what the deposit is, and whether they will take a payment plan. What I do not do: guess. If a price is not published, the file says unpublished, and shows what I asked and when. No averages pulled off a blog, no figure I cannot point at. Why it is worth eight dollars: the gap between what a clinic prints and what it wants at the counter is where visits die. Three working days, one revision.
