Action News price-shopped an eye procedure for a Cherry Hill rescue dog owner.
The range of estimates to carry out the procedure was wide, from $1,450 to $2,571, the outlet said.
But it was nowhere near the “crazy” price of $4,298.64 that Jacqueline Canter was charged as she rushed to her local vet last month and was told that it would be for the best for her 14-year-old dog, Ernie, to have his left eye removed.
After hurriedly signing the estimate, Canter realized she may have been taken for a ride on her own ride home — but when she inquired with the vet about the cost, she was harshly told, “You signed the estimate…If you had a problem with the price, you should have said it right then and there...now it's too late,” the report says.
Canter said her own veterinarian gave her a maximum estimate for the procedure of around $1,500, the outlet said.
