Let's see $65 to the U of Minn lab and $45 to Fed Ex. I'd say he made a little on that transaction...

So he charged $95 to draw the blood and package it???
Must have a nice vacation coming up!
Holy crap.
It doesn't surprise me. I am sure it is a PIA for the vet and staff, especially with the learning curve involved.
Jeez....the students came to our FT and just did mouth swabs for free.....I had my dog done even though he was a golden....just for the heck of it.
Don't they do mouth swabs that you can send in yourself?

$100 to the vet
I used to work there. I know they save all the gel packs and boxes from the vaccines they purchase so that they can be re-used. So there was no cost there. And FedEx comes there to pick up the shipments.
I got charged $100 for 10 minutes of his time (at the most), a syringe and a 3ml purple top tube.

So, in your mind what would a fair fee be if that is all he did? Just curious.Originally Posted by Rick_C

I was expecting him to charge about $50.So, in your mind what would a fair fee be if that is all he did? Just curious.
