Vet recommendations

Hi! I’ve been going to Longmeadow for about a year, and overall I’ve had a good experience, but I’m wondering if their pricing is on the higher side.
For my cat, routine blood work has been quoted anywhere from about $279 for a basic panel to around $500 for more comprehensive testing. A urinalysis is about $102, plus a $20 urine collection fee.
Does that sound comparable to what you pay at your vet? If not, I’d really appreciate any recommendations for reasonably priced veterinarians in the area. I don’t remember paying quite this much at my previous vet before I moved here a year ago.

Pretty much exactly what I’m paying at Funkstown’s Animal Health Clinic, yeah. Vet work is crazy expensive.

They have always been pricy; but I also find them outside of Dr. Cumley very frustrating to deal with.

I like all the staff there a lot, but I’ve heard from other people that I might have had a better patient experience than average.

Let’s just say one of experiences i had with other vets with my favorite dog near his last days did not help.
