I don't know. All I do know is how Dr. Friedman who is semi retired, owner of the practice called me back on a SUNDAY and agreed to "take care" of Polli for us on a Sunday. He came to the house. He allowed us a lot of time with Polli- before, during the 1st shot to relax her and her final shot. He left the house and sat in his car for 20 minute intervals. Then, HE took Polli away for us, covered her gently in his trunk, and as he closed the lid- he said "I'm sorry Mommy". Man did I cry. He was amazing and not even my regualr vet- but the owner and knew what was going on. My vet had left for vacation that morning.
I have no idea if we were charged.
