How are vets able to perform surgeries and prescribe meds so much cheaper?

Took my dog to the top vet in OS for a spay and meds and everything was under $250. The same items for a human at a doctor for any type of invasive surgery would be drastically more. The meds prescribed were the same basic chemical as most pain meds and so much cheaper. Why is that?

Dogs don't tend to sue like humans?

Please tell me you’re not serious.

You have to pay for pet visits before you leave
If everyone paid their hospital bill, before going home, things would be much cheaper.
Instead we have folks that use the ER like their PCP and will never pay a dime

Dogs are the largest unemployed demographic in America, more than squirrels.

I see.
Does the Top Vet in Ocean Springs sprinkle Old Bay on the surgical wound before sending the dog out the door?

A vasectomy really isn’t that much more.

If your otherwise healthy dog dies during a neutering due to complications of anesthesia, the vet isn’t liable for an adult human’s earning potential over a reasonable lifespan.

$250 nowadays is amazing.

Health insurance and malpractice lawsuits drive up costs for humans
And people are willing to pay more to save themselves than an animal

You wouldn't believe how much cheaper my script is since I finally convinced the vet that our pup has glaucoma.

How else would insurance companies make up a random number for you to pay them 5 months later after services
