I understand that prices increase and the staff is absolutely wonderful at VCA. HOWEVER, I have been there a few times in the last few months to pick up meds, drop off dogs for grooming, surgery, etc., and on more than one occasion I heard other customers gasp when they received the bill for the annual check up. I feel bad for the staff as they have to deal with any complaints or reactions.
Thank you all for your recommendations!! Need to get the cats checked and MacDonald and Interlakes seem to be a common recommendation close to Gilford.

We've had a very similar experience with VCA. We pay cash for all our animals' care and find it hard to have a bill for a monthly medication jump by more than 50% with no warning. I'm not one to dispute charges but I do NOT like suprises like that - especially with no warning. Yeah, I grumbled about it.
It really rubbed me the wrong way when we got this glossy magazine in the mail last week from VCA about pet care. I'm sure it's a corporate publication but those things aren't really "free". I don't need more magazines I don't have time to read and will only toss out. I'd prefer the cost of care be kept down so we can continue to be customers because I totally agree the staff is great at VCA Laconia/Gilford.
