Why are doctors better than vets?

Answer 1

There are quite a few reasons for this, with each piece accounting for part of the discrepancy. First, doctors are typically paid from money received from health insurance and government health care programs like Medicare and Medicaid while veterinarians are paid directly by their clients. Therefore, doctors (or hospitals or clinics) charge what they feel they should be paid while veterinarians tend to charge a compromise between what they feel they should be paid and what the client can actually afford to pay.

Second, veterinarians work on animals while doctors work on humans. Since animals are legally only worth what someone will pay for them, the costs of medications and equipment tend to be much cheaper for veterinarians than for doctors. The cost savings are passed on to the clients, and veterinarians charge less for the same service or medication. Good example of this: injectable Naxcel (an antibiotic) for a cow tends to cost about $50 per one gram bottle; the exact same injectable Naxcel for a human costs about $150 per one gram bottle. The human version costs more, mostly because companies can charge more for the human version.
