> If people are willing to spend more, then nothing really changed. If anything, goods and services were mispriced beforehand. If they raise the prices too high, nobody can afford the vet services and they will go out of business.

I don't agree with this theory or pricing when the purchase decisions are often made under duress, and the market is opaque. The last time I called around for quotes for getting my cat's teeth cleaned, nobody would give numbers over the phone, they all wanted me to come in for an exam first, and the next exam opening wasn't that week, it was in like 2 or 3 weeks. If a person is at the vet for something relatively urgent, they don't have much of a choice.
