12. Vet costs are outrageous.

My dog gets ear infections. He is a Lab and, like many Labs, gets them seasonally. I know what they are and all I need is the medicine to clear them up but the vet always wants a $50 consultation to refill the prescription.

He developed a droopy Lowe eyelid about a year back. I took him in to make sure nothing was wrong and after charging me for two checkups and expensive medicines that did nothing, they revealed that it is common and often goes away on its own but they still recommended a couple thousand dollar MRI. I declined and three months later, he was back to normal.
