So why then should a vet give a discount? Its not their fault some people are too shortsighted to realise they cant afford to care for an animal if it has become ill and they dont have insurance.

I care the world for my animals, I don't see why any vets should be different. I would not be happy if I was a vet, saw a dog come in with bad health and they couldn't let you do anything due not having so much money. I would feel very bad not to give it any treatment and let it suffer just because the owners cannot afford your help.

Whilst ownership may well be about the animal, its also about the responsibility of ownership and that includes the financing of said animal/s. From before they enter your life as a pet or part of your collection to the end of their life as your animal. The owner is there for the animal equally as much as the animal is present for yours.

Vets are as said, a business, they can not just apply a no cost situation to every animal that must be pts because of lack of funds from the ownership.

If this is the case, what is to stop others from then turning upon same vet and asking for a discount on examination, testing or treating the animals, based primarily upon the facts that they offered said 'party' a discount putting their animal down.

No, it is not an acceptable form of business for a vet, everyone has said it, they are providing you and your animal/s a service, from the start to the end, why should they provide a loss for them for the loss of the animals in question?

I have never really saw them as being a business. I thought vets do what they do for their passion for animals, seems like they don't.

So now the government should fund you keeping a pet?

A vets bill for putting an animal to sleep is never that expensive that money cannot be raised from somewhere. If you dont have insurance then sell something or get a second job.

Suck it up. Some vets will allow you to participate in a payment plan but too many people just dont bother paying so why should they bother?

Just because YOU decide to own a pet, they should be put out? I think not.
