Are vet fees in Malaysia regulated?


REFERRING to “A vet’s wish for World Vet Day” (The Star, April 20), I would like to bring up the subject of fees charged by our local veterinarians that was mentioned in the letter.

I am raising this matter because certain comparable procedures done on animals and humans can have a large disparity in fees. It leaves me aghast that some of these procedures cost three times more for animals than they do for humans.
