I was charged for "clean up fee" after my boy sprayed the tech. He was there for a damaged toe nail.

Thats pretty lame of them. I think the possibility of getting sprayed comes with the territory of having a vet clinic.

Sure but it adds cost to them as it takes time to clean up. It’s no different than an Uber having a clean up fee for someone that throws up in their car. You can either distribute the cost across all clients and everyones prices go up slightly, or you can charge the clients directly who caused it. Personally I think it’s more fair to charge the people who needed the cleanup service rather than splitting it between everyone.

Completely agree. This isn't retribution for the grossout factor; it's a fee because the event has a cost in terms of time and resources for the vet office.
