In answer to the pet cremation, they are held about once a month IIRC. Its a mass "buring" so the ashes are not even of the pet in question in a few cases.
For £400 you could have bought a few more cats.

Depends on the company the one i use cremations are done everyday and you can have an individual cremation.

Was running on memory there. Just checked the one my mother used for the last jack russell had the monthly thing with "communal" services, there was an individual option too.

LOL, know the feeling.
Just put some slug and snail treatment down and that seems to have stopped the cat and fox over the last few days and has saved my cabbages and swedes!

Tell the cat to pay the bill! They are doing all this advertising work on TV recently, the dogs have become CG characters, because they demanded too much in fees, is it Andrex bog roll they waste?
Even bloody meercats are showing up now. How much do they earn, telling people to leave their website alone? (Which actually works!).
I blame Ed the talking horse for all this nonsense, all these animals that are talking, and advertising behind our backs, they must think us humans are right mugs.
I had a cat when younger, 8-9 ish, that had some terminal issue, took to the vet to be put down, then it died in the waiting room. Had a budgie, that seemed to have a stroke, half its body couldn't move, that happened on the same day as my brothers funeral. Everyone upset, now the budgie..It was chirping a weird cheep cheep, which I repeated to it, that seemed to comfort it, and calm its distress..It was taken to the vet, and also died in the waiting room. My parents had a Westhighland terrior (the white scotty dog), that was on heart pills, ate better than me, drank milk rather than water, and was severely aggressive if you took a pigs ear from him. I was due to look after him when my parents went on holiday, but their holiday was delayed by a day, when it died. I'd be mortified if I had to ring my parents up to tell them, they would have disowned me, thinking I killed little Scotty.
But there was a vile episode reported recently, where dumped animals were discovered, with microchips inserted, where the 'vet' had promised a cremation, and delivered ashes to owners. Owning a pet is so personal, and many people regard pets above humans. If a dog wanders into the road, people avoid it, if a person does the same they aim at them...Bizarre!
Or the above deaths, are what I was 'told', I never understood why my fairground won fish disappeared?
My pond fish had a bad winter. My tropical fish, donated to my brother, died after his carer stored them in a net, until the tank was refilled...and nobody noticed. Until too late.

I was called to a vets practice a few weeks ago, they had a blocked drain in the centre of their car park (which holds approx. 60 cars)
I found the manhole and jetted towards the blocked drain about 40 metres away. I was on site for about 45 minutes and found the blockage to be rubble in the drain line. I told the manager that I will need to come back when it stops raining and remove the large grate covering the drain and clear from there. I explained that I couldn't do it now as it was under 400mm of dirty water. He told the boss and he came out and refused to pay the bill of £114 because the drain was still blocked. I told him that the payment was for time spent on site and diagnosis of the problem, he then told me that he knew it was blocked with rubble as someone else had tried before. He still refused to pay and walked off.
complete c**t!!!

You will NEVER find a poor vet or dentist!
Rant Over.

Think he's being perfectly reasonable tbh. He didn't ask you to 'diagnose' the problem, he wanted the drain cleared. You wanted paid for not clearing the drain, which is ridiculous.
No

I shouldn't moan too much as I have animals for years and this is the biggest bill so far, so I reckon I'm a quid in not having pet insurance, it's a gamble!

Had similar last week, was asked to do a job. Got there, turns out it was not able to be done and needed an estimate.
Did I charge?
NO
Will I get paid for my time there, probably. Once the jobs done. Its called factoring in time and ecpences.

If it's in their terms and conditions and you don't ask, might not have much choice although it's polite to tell you! I suppose I would pay and learn next time. We offer free advice on here and I suppose they can't offer free advice as you have taken up their time slot? If they did do free advice then you could end up a possiblility of wasting time slot for others?A grey area, maybe a receptionist error, forgot to charge you for the consultation before leaving?
I think you have to pay for the consultation fee before any estimation?
Just paid £345 for a tooth removal on my cat
Hi mason, long time no see, so to speak!
So would you pay or not?
I paid £250 for my cat's extraction.
I suppose if you're really busy then you could charge for your advice, if you ticking over then you're begging for jobs and your good honest reputation for free advice should get you more work unlike the vets from what I've seen they have plenty of work
I blame the parents for not teaching the cat how to brush and floss properly.
