Indicative prices to help you plan, not a quote. Costs vary by practice, region, and what's included, so call the practice for an exact price. How we work these out

Near you

Every practice nearby, with what it publishes

Listed by distance from you, never by price. Practices that publish nothing are listed too, so you see the whole area.

Why these numbers hold up

Linked to the list

Every practice’s price links to its own list, with the date we read it.

The Order’s own services

Prices are read into the services the CMA’s Order lists, so a spay is compared with a spay.

One practice, counted once

Where the registers list a practice twice, it still counts as one.

A published method

How we collect prices sets out what we read, what we leave out and how to correct a price.
