I made an appt in person for my cat and dog for wellness exams for the following week. I had to pre-pay a deposit of $60 each! Ridiculous! Unheard of! Why!?!

I'm from out of town and was visiting family when my little wing man Buddy the adventure mutt, a 16 lb poodle mix had an issue that was concerning to me.
