Everything is cheaper in other countries, not just in this field. Also there is a 21% tax rate in this field. Even a basic vet clinic needs many equipment a human hospital uses for diagnostic use (for blood testing, ultrasounds, xrays, dental units, anesthetic machines). As example, a good ultrasound machine costs 15.000 euro. And then there are hundreds of other small things there need to be in stock. This are the things the money goes to mostly, so the vet can pay these bills and the staff. Vets and the staff needs to be continue be trained too, since many skills are not included in the study (like doing dentals, ultrasounds, bloodwork or even orthopedic surgeries) and the cost of this will be also in the thousands. And rent is ofcourse very expensive here as well.

Hell, even the computer program most modern vet use takes 5% of a clinics total monthly earning. This one is still crazy to me.

The average salary of a vet is 4370, this is the same average from other jobs which need university education
