When Loki was put on thyroid medication, we were upfront with the vet and said we were going to call around for different prices at various pharmacies. Surprisingly enough, the human form of the thyroid meds was going to be more expensive than what the vet was offering. She had absolutely no problem with us shopping around.

At the end of the day, it's my money and my pet. If I can save money, I will (as long as it's in my pet's best interest). If any vet is going to be insulted or give attitude because of that - then it's time for me to find a new vet.
