How much does a fish veterinarian charge?
You’ll be surprised to know how much we charge as fish veterinarians. While some might shirk at the cost, many clients are ever so grateful for the service and surprised it didn’t cost them as much as they’d thought.
See the link to an article my colleague has prepared. It details what it takes to be a fish veterinarian, compared to a veterinarian in general practice – https://cafishvet.com/2019/10/25/pricing/
