Click on the title to read about the newest and the greatest for pet care.....
Okay...here is the part I like most about it;
Holistic therapy for pets
Treatments: Acupuncture, Chinese herbs and homeopathy
Cost: $200 for an initial one-hour appointment; $90 for 30-minute follow-ups
Ummm, I think this is as much as Neurologist for humans might charge or for that matter a lawyer's hourly rate is right along that line.
Ahhhh, I think I'm heading the right direction! WOWSER...I think that I could pay my bills with this kinda of rate....WhooHoo.
Although...I feel a little guilty here...STOP!
My idea has been to open up retail outlets that make holistic health care for pets affordable.
Honestly, to charge this much is really not right, nor can regular folks afford it. As a result of these prices so many pets who really need this type of care will go without.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer...
But there is something else at play here. Why is holistic health care considered a specialty and commanding the highest dollar? When in fact this should be the common mode of treatment and the cost to the patient be reasonable, especially since we tout the treatment principles of preventative medicine.
It is our job as a holistic practitioner to prevent disease, not capitalize on disease.
Shame on these opportunistic Veterinarians. (I just hope I don't turn into one of them)

It IS still considered alternative medicine here in the U.S. - and many people are willing to pay more for something that isn't widely available.
The direction you are heading sounds wonderful - but there is a conundrum there.
There are many people who believe that you get what you pay for and if you charge less - they may think what you are offering is not as good.
So there are things to overcome if you are to succeed in making that kind of pet-care affordable.
Good luck!!
Your right...right now I give away alot of free time...I think it will more appreciated when I charge 100 bucks for it! Silly people...
That's a question that I've always wondered about myself, but I thought I was the only one.
You just might end up starting an industry trend and change everything :)
