Looking for an honest vet, who is not geared towards robbing a pet owner, of his or her life savings.

We returned to Bozeman two years ago. Our experience in Texas made us more than leary of vets. We found that vet's today, have found their niche' in guilting pet owners into dozens of tests.

"Oh, we better do blood work."
(Nothing wrong...)
"Oh, it looks like cancer and a very aggressive type."
(Biopsy...NOT...)
"Oh, we must clean his teeth every six months, and put him under anesthesia."
($600.00 every 6 months for 2 animals!)
"Oh, we better do an x-ray..."
(Dog must have had a pulled muscle, who knows...)

blah, blah, blah...(Kaching!$$$$$)

Found my animals were receiving every test, and procedure available to mankind, and humankind. They got more "tests" than I, my wife, or kids have ever had, in a combined 170 years of living. (our ages added together)

This was a "Banfield Vet." I found out after several years of my pockets being picked, that several of my other neighbors unbeknownst to all of us, had experienced the same "caring and compassion" from the same PetSmart Banfield Vet. (Kaching! $$$$$$) So, I would not take my pet to those money grubbing vets.

Looking for a vet who is honest, and does not prey on the owners emotions, or pocket book. I have kids in college. At this stage of the game, books, tuition and lab fees have me watching every penny.

Anyone suggest a good vet. Looking for honesty, not every test that can be done to animals, under the guise of being a good pet owner, and initiated by money grubbing vet's who hide behind a pretend mask of caring.
