Shocker - Vets' Markup!

I've just made an order on the hayexperts for:


1 x 10kg bag of Excel
1 x 10kg bag of Science Selective
1 x large bag of Yesterday's News (litter)

the courier is £7.99, so the total is £54.76...


But at the vets last month, for the exact same items, excluding courier, it was:

£68.69 :shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:

I knew the vets was expensive (but I can order it one day and pick up the next - anything but go to PAH), but not that much...
I feel a bit conned :?
£14 difference? :?
 
Have you tried Simply k9

Excel 10kg 13.28
SS 10kg 17.48

Postage is 4.99

Doesn't currently have litter, but if you request it from Simon (Simplyk9 on here) Im sure he will have a look and try and stock it for you
 
Your vet probably has to pay full price for the bag as a one-off rather than someone buying in bulk who can probably get them cheaper, and your vet has to spread their 'profit' over the whole business so I wouldn't say you are being ripped off by your vet, it's just a different business model.

I love The Hay Experts; Lisa is a bunny enthusiast herself, really knows her products and the service is great :)
