Why vet prices vary

  • What's included. A "from" price often covers the basics only. Extras like medication, anaesthetic, or follow-ups can be charged separately.
  • Your pet. Size, age, and health all affect the cost of surgery and anaesthetic.
  • Where you are. Prices tend to be higher in London and other cities.
  • The practice. Equipment, opening hours, and whether it's a 24-hour hospital all feed into the price. Cheapest isn't always the right choice.
