If the vet charges too high the owner of the pet will choose another vet next time. 120 € for dog immunizations and deworming is high end treatment regarding the costs. In a Village near Kiel I paid 2009 about 60 €.

But i´m pretty sure, that dog taxes are not the reason for a low vet´s bill. In Germany taxes are uncommited (e.g. the tobacco tax, which is inter alia used for the Autobahn instead of figthing lung cancer). Otherwise we talk about charges? (Abgaben/Gebühren).<br />dogs are taxed by the impoverished municipalities. I doubt that "Borken" or any other town is willing to subsidize the vets beneficently, but rather pay its debts. <br />Long story short: i have no idea, why the bills are lower than in the states ;-).<br /><br />LG (which are btw no initials but the acronym for best wishes/Liebe Grüße ^^)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
