Prices and the plan
The prices, all of them.
Prices include VAT. Before any procedure you get a written estimate with the range it could fall in, and a phone call before we go beyond it. The health plan takes 10% off everything on this page except the plan itself.

"From" prices depend on the size of the animal and what we find; the exact figure is on your written estimate before anything is done, and you are rung if it is going to change. Card on the day, or a direct claim to your insurer with the excess paid at the desk. Payment plans for bills over £500 through a regulated finance provider.

Why the prices are public
Because the alternative is finding out at the desk.
A written estimate, always
Before any procedure: what it is, the range it could cost, and what would change it. If we find something during surgery that changes the plan, we ring before we go on.
Insurance, claimed directly
With most insurers you pay the excess at the desk and we claim the rest, so a big bill is not yours to find first. Bring the policy details before the appointment.
Payment plans for the big things
Bills over £500 can be spread over six to thirty-six months through a regulated finance provider, 0% for twelve. Ask at the desk before the procedure, not after.
Prevention is the cheap bit
The booster, two health checks and the flea and worm treatment on the plan cost less than one emergency consultation. Most of what we catch early, we catch at a booster.

Registration takes five minutes and we request the history from your previous vet. Sick pets are seen the same day, emergencies at once, and out of hours one of our own vets answers 01632 960 813. Every price is on the website.
