Ritson Veterinary Clinic gouges...
My friend had to have her cat put to sleep yesterday. She is a senior citizen living on an extremely low income. Prior to taking her cat in, she called for a price. She was very shaken and upset that she had to have her cat put down and arrived at the vet clinic only to be told that she had to pay an additional $67.00 because she had not been to that vet clinic for a long time and I guess it was classed as a "penalty"? What in the world does the fact that she hadn't been to the clinic for quite some time have to do with the vet's cost, time, effort, etc. to put her cat down??? Ritson Veterinary Clinic has put themselves in the same category as lawyers for taking advantage of people who are in an extremely vunerable position and gouging an older lady who simply was put in a very unfair position. Was she to take her cat back home and make another appointment at a different vet clinic? Of course not! She was there, it was emotionally difficult for her and she just wanted that day to be behind her. Her food budget for the month will now suffer so that the gouging vet clinic's owners can enjoy high living at her expense for a very unfair and questionable charge!!! Shame on you at RITSON VETERINARY CLINIC!!! You can bet that I will tell everybody I talk to about what you unethical opportunists did!!!
