So I had our dog's anal glands expressed last night. The procedure literally takes two, maybe three minutes, and if you don't watch them, they try to use Hibiscrub as a lubricant! I wonder how they'd feel with soap up their backside?

ยฃ27.00 Pets at Home charges, and that's not even a vet; it's a nurse! Twenty-seven pounds to stick a finger in and waggle it about a bit. I phoned our local White Cross Vets; they want an eye-watering ยฃ47.00

It's no wonder dogs and cats are dumped everywhere. Nobody can afford them, what with the price of food, groomers and extortionate vet bills for the most simple of procedures.

Yep. The average bill now if you have a prescription is ยฃ100+ We have to get the dog done every few months as one of his anal glands doesn't empty itself very well, so at ยฃ27 a time, we're looking at roughly ยฃ216.00 a year. The groomer is just under ยฃ50 a time, which is around ยฃ500 a year, and what with his food, treats, toys, etc., we're easily looking at ยฃ1500 a year.
