Imagine if the Huddle had a time machine. Let's set it for....January 2000. What were you doing at that time?

I was living in Daytona Beach, working for nascar.com, right before they moved me up to Charlotte to be closer to the teams. Had no dating life...I was on the road like 30 weekends out of the year. But man, that was a fun time. Got to see almost every city in the country doing that job.

nah, lets just change it for you, January 1980...........:P

I was listening to albums on my record player. All my albums came from that Clearinghouse deal where you could get 10 albums for one penny as long as you bought their selected album of the month every month (or turned in your refusal, which everyone forgot to do). I had Greatest Hits albums of every group from the 70s. And the first two Cars albums. Remember those Nikes that Forrest Gump wore, with the red swoosh on a white shoe and light blue trim on the bottom? Those were my school's colors and everyone had a pair.

      Are all veterinarians this greedy ?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Like a lot of things in today's economy, market concentration is a huge issue in the vet space. Mars (yeah, the chocolate company) owns roughly half of them with their control of Banfield and VCA as well as numerous smaller chains. Oh, and all that Royal Canon food the vets are prescribing and recommending? Yeah, that's owned by Mars too. Don't even get me started on the racket that is "prescription" dog food and how incredibly uneducated the average vet is on basic pet nutrition. Back to the actual clinics... private equity ghouls who care about literally nothing but profit own another 30%. Now you're down to roughly 20-25% of clinics that aren't under the thumb of Mars or private equity.

      like any profession, a lot of them are very greedy and balloon up bills.  My buddy is a vet.   When he was first starting out he had BIG issues with the vet he was employed with because he was expected to drive up bills.    He now owns his own practice driven by that very reason.  Good man that wants to sleep good at night....doing what he set out to do at a young age (with the same reason in mind, to help animals and people).  But per him, a HUGE % of small animal vets are just gouging the f out of people.  like most things, I want the most mom and pop variety I can find.  The bigger practice, like most businesses, it more likely is owned and operated to make as much money as possible at the end of the day.
