Standard consultation Cost

The CMA found that vet prices can vary by 300% or more for the same treatment, even between practices in the same town.

Factors that affect the cost of standard consultation:

• Location — London and the South East tend to be more expensive
• Practice type — corporate groups may price differently to independents
• What's included — some quotes include post-op checks, medication, and follow-ups; others don't
• Pet size/weight — larger animals often cost more for surgery and anaesthesia
• Complexity — individual case factors can affect final cost
