Why are vets so expensive?

Like it says. Had my small domestic dog at the vets and they quoted me 800 for an iv drip, blood tests and 'in house care' whilst they run tests. I opted for the alternative antibiotic jab and plenty tlc. She recovered well and went back into her dry food after chicken and rice for a couple of days. Got me wondering why are they so expensive for triage??

Part of vetsfeeling expensive is down to us having the free NHS care as humans and don't usually know the real cost of treatment/medications.
Vets are a business and charge accordingly.
