The prices of veterinarians
have soared between 2021 and 2022 according to the latest barometer of Mammoth Unleashed *, an information site for the defense of animals.
Significant increases in Nantes, Toulouse, Lyon... and prices that vary

treat their animal to the veterinarian

Even if the average increase is moderate (approximately 2%),
price inequalities
are therefore to be noted for caring for your pet.
"The disparities are multi-factorial: choice of surgical techniques, advanced equipment, local installation costs, level of competition", notes the site.
The average budgets also differ according to the zones
and according to the animals.
The amount of care is not the same for a cat as for a large dog and depends on the act performed.
"Among the most practiced acts, the sterilization of a female cat can cost 91 € in Dunkirk against 340 € euros in Cannes and the vaccination of a Labrador 43 € in Bayonne against 120 € euros in Versailles", notes the Unleashed Mammoth. .
