Who's raising fees this year?

Ahh, fees. How many hours have you spent analyzing them? Are they too high? Too low? What's shopped? What's not? And what's your competition doing? Your fee schedule can be as unique as your practice, tailored to your services and clientele. But if you're looking for trends in the profession, consider what respondents to a recent Veterinary Hospital Managers Association (VHMA) survey on fees said. Results are based on responses from 247 practice management professionals.

Christine Shupe, CAE, is the executive director of the Veterinary Hospital Managers Association.
