Fooling for pet meds

July 11th, 2009

I don’t know if you saw it on the news or not (I think Fox was covering it) but vets are getting in trouble for overcharging on things that used to cost hardly anything. I knew this guy — we’ll call him Bob — (I love the anonymity thing) and he had an infected cut. He told his vet that his dog had the cut and so he needed antibiotics. His vet wanted to see him but the guy — calling him Bob, remember — called to cancel the appointment because he said he was ill. There was a mix up and the assistant thought Bob had been approved for the medicines. Turns out, if he had just got the prescription, he could’ve used pet meds coupons and saved money rather than paying the vet for the meds. I guess the vets know that people can’t afford their human antibiotics and are trying to scam them out of vets. Bob just wanted the meds for himself.
