Pricing

A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit below average, but this is based on very few comparable services. One published fee is £130 for out-of-hours consultations between 7pm and 9am through Medivet’s emergency service. Recent comments on cost are mixed: one owner described prices as not extortionate compared with other vets, while another felt a consultation and medication charge was poor value after a disappointing outcome.
