As has happened with veterinarians. Now being a vet pays less, vets are far more likely to get exploited by big corporations... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

*by vets I mostly mean corporate clinics but private practices have less resources to work with so prices are competitive across clinics

unfortunately the price increases are driven by manufacturers (ie pharmaceutical companies/ other medical supplies) raising their prices, which forces vets to raise their prices to support overhead fees… but the actual vet staff don’t get raises- including techs/ VAs, who often get minimum wage
