I need a CHEAP vet in Wesley Chapel area (Dade City: prices, bill)

[lorigj]

We just moved from Jasper, GA...I need to find a CHEAP (but GOOD) vet in the Wesley Chapel area..any suggestions?
Our old vet in GA was an old country vet and I think I will still make the trip once a year to get the teeth cleaned ($75 per dog inc. anesthesia) and $10 per shot..but I need a local vet for emergency purposes.

I used to use Quail Hollow Animal clinic years ago. They were reasonably priced and good for emergencies. They were in one of the plazas on the north side of 54 just east of 75.

If you want one of the cheapest places around (excellent vets too!), check out Dade City Animal Clinic.
Its on 301 at the south end of Dade City. Its about a 20-25 minute drive from Wesley chapel but well worth the trip. Prices are really good. Something like $35 for full set of yearly shots and exam.
Basically, they are an "old time" type place where its more about caring for the animals than it is about padding their bottom line. The docs take the time to actually talk to you instead of just the assistants doing all the work. I think my last cleaning was $70 total.

I had a completely different price experience (service was great thoug, but that is what you can you expect for that amount...) than you had at Quail Hollow and so had a few of my friends...the over charge you....walking in with your dog $ 40.- + additional for vaccins...

I was quoted $ 345.- for my Yorkie to be fixed...I paid $ 75.- at the Humane Society and I go to Petco for the vaccinations...way cheaper.

Luckily we never had a an emergency...but my 2 of my friends go to one vet on St. Rd 54 close to Land O'Lakes and he seems very reasonable.

DON'T go to Quail Hollow! They are way too expensive. They did all kinds of unnecessary tests for my young cat and dog with no problems. The bill came out to be over $400 for an annual visit, heart worm preventative and flea/tick medication. I will never go there again. The vet I got, was not too great either. No personality and seemed nervous around my dog. He threatened to put a muzzle on her. I go to somone on MLK, probably too far for you.

Wow,
Its been about 7 years since I've been there. They must have changed their pricing !
They used to be really affordable. I guess they must have changed hands.
