Is it typical for vets to charge a visit fee for each dog? Or do some vets see more than one dog and just charge the fee once? Just curious...

There is the office call and the exam which are separate. Some would charge one office call and two exams and others may charge both for both. And only a vet who really feels like being nice would charge just one office call and exam.

my vet charges for both dogs, but its 2 appt times so i understand, i always took them at the sime time for the first 2 years but after a trip that only one dog needed to go i realized how much easier it was with just 1
i decided if i am paying the same amount i would rather not take them both at the same time. It was a pain to carry one who wouldnt walk in and hold the door for the other who was thrilled to see his dr girlfriend, my fife loved to go to the vet, and that was a good thing he had 2 new knees, 2 new hips and ct, he was always at the vet, my other guy i have no idea what would happen if he ever got really sick.

Mine only charges one fee. So when they are ready for their yearly exam I load them all up and off to the Vet. The people waiting after me is not very happy..lol
