Impact of Rising Veterinary Costs on Dog Ownership and Surrenders and Abandoned Dogs: Discussion
Mr. Bill Cashman:
From personal experience and the people I know, nobody has put up prices by that much. I know that airline tickets have gone up by 58%, and that is discretionary spending as well. The airlines are full. Our prices have definitely not gone up by 58%. I can put my hand on my heart and say that. I can say it for almost all practitioners with whom I speak.
