Vets have been accused of milking pet insurance and causing needless suffering and pain in order to pump up their incomes, according to some viewers who have contacted the website. Following on our reports on rogue dentists and doctors - and their Governing bodies - the vets are now being blasted by members of the public - One dog owners complained of bills rising to nearly £5,000 - most of which after independent examination proved to be unnecessary.She writes "there is no organisation in this country that protects animals from over treatment or harm by vets. The conduct department of the Veterinary establishment exist purely to protect the vets." She writes that civil litigation is not an option as "my dog has no value in Law."

Comment: Pet Insurance is a good thing but as this case proves some Vets are abusing the system. Please let me know if you have had a similar experience and maybe a collective of disgruntled customers can start a pressure group to protect pets from greedy Vets.
