Veterinary Fees Are Based on the Place of Practice

Speaking of veterinary consultation rates actually vary. This will depend on the type of disease, the treating veterinarian, and the doctor’s office itself.

Before knowing the cost of going to the vet, you should know the following types of veterinary practices:

1. Independent Practice

An independent veterinary practice is a veterinary medical service business run by one veterinarian individually. Everything, including the management and determination of veterinary costs, is managed and determined independently.

The hallmark of this independent veterinary practice is the use of a personal name on the nameplate of the place of practice.

The cost of a veterinarian who practices independently depends on the veterinarian’s policy.

However, the average price of going to a private practice veterinarian is around IDR 100,000 to IDR 200,000 for one consultation session.

2. Joint Veterinary Practice (PDHB)

The next type of veterinary practice is PDHB. This practice is a practice run by several veterinarians in one practice.

Unlike an independent veterinary practice, here there are several veterinarians in charge. Veterinary fees for each treatment certainly vary depending on the location and the policy of the person in charge of the PDHB.

However, the price range is not much different from an independent animal practice, namely IDR 50,000 to IDR 200,000.
