- 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.
