> I’ve heard their fees are pretty high on the vet side though.

The quote we got from them for dental work did seem pretty high, higher than what we paid at our Brooklyn vet for similar work. But we also got a quote from the Stamford VCA which was around the same so maybe they both happen to be expensive, or maybe that's just what it is :/

I'm guessing they saw an influx of new patients during the pandemic with more people moving here from the city and more people getting pets too.

My wife is a vet here, and CoL is a huge factor, as is inflation. At her hospital they have vet techs that make more than I do as a software engineer, and they are still struggling to recruit and retain both doctors and staff. This area is just a really, really expensive place to live.
