    Some vets have been concerned about these issues for a long time. Ours offers payment plans and is even willing to reduce his fees when he knows a client is struggling financially. If needed, he directs those most in need to charity clinics or organisations and rescues that offer different solutions. On top of that, he regularly goes out with social workers on outreach to treat the dogs of homeless people for free.

    Not all vets are just money-making machines.

    Hello, I’m also a vet student and I find your thesis topic very interesting and really useful.
    Access to care is an issue that we’re seeing more and more in our future profession.
    Better understanding the economic and social struggles owners face is essential for providing tailored solutions.
    Best of luck with your study and the rest of your thesis!

    Kind regards,

    Romane

    Hi, I agree with what's been said. It’s a disgrace that they only look at the financial side and what makes a profit. I personally know plenty of people whose circumstances have changed but who still step up and take care of their pets, whether it’s a dog or a cat. At the end of the day, vets are heartless. I’ve been in a situation where I couldn't pay about £45, and I was politely shown the door. So, this study is all well and good, but as far as I'm concerned, it won't help our situation one bit.

    Hi (at the very least)

    A thesis study really needs to make this profession understand that their profit-driven approach is hurting everyone. They don’t listen to people’s needs; they just bill you!

    Nationwide, it’s a total lottery: anything from £80 to £340 for a 17-marker blood test. It’s irresponsible!

    We have a veterinary regulatory body that is completely invisible and never replies to messages.

    We’re on our own, facing a truly scandalous lack of regulation. I wanted to make that clear.

    A word to the wise 🙂
