I asked my vet to order a minimum order (4) of the individual implants.
He got those for me and showed me the invoice which was $69 for the 4,
which is exactly what he charged me for them. He gave my girl a quick
once over and inserted one implant and charged me $30 for his services.
I have the other 3 in my icebox and will take one back to him in 3.5
months for her next one. I figure $30 is reasonable for an office visit
plus ordering the inserts.
