Should The Cost Of Animal Treatments Be Regulated?
My husband has just collected two worming tablets and six flea treatment tablets from the vet for my two dogs - that's one worming tablet and three flea treatment tablets each. Cost £116.
With charges like that it's no surprise people don't bother.

Friend of our paif £80 annually for check up and boosters, took the dog yesterday, now they want £175.
Can anyone else remember the PDSA mobile vans. One day in the week it would arrive and park up on a local carpark. Advice and examinations by qualified vets. Minor ops. were also carried out. Although the treatment was free most people gave small donations if they could afford to. No pressure if you couldn't. Nominal amount for pills and potions.

but someone deleted my two answers ! er the veterinary drugs are probably at cost - smaller volumes, greater cost which is passed onto the consumer.
The one that makes me swoon (!) is meloxicam - £1 per tab paracetamol for dogs - whereas paracetamol is around 3p each. But they ARE difft drugs.
any drug where the packaging is a bigger charge than the drug? yes Morphine
