Consultation and preventative care
How much does a pet care plan cost?
No vet we have read publishes a price for a pet care plan yet. It is one of the 36 prices every practice has to publish by 23 March 2027, and this page fills as they do.
What the price covers, and why it varies
The standard definition: Pet care plan(s) (monthly cost), and a link to further information on the practice website about plan inclusions
The price depends on the size of your pet. Practices set their own weight bands, so a "medium dog" at one vet may be a "large dog" at another. If your dog is near a boundary, ask which band applies.
Plan prices vary by species and by weight. Practices now have to publish what the plan includes, a savings comparison, and what a year of the plan's flea and worm treatment would cost bought separately, so you can see whether the plan pays for itself. We have done that sum for every plan we hold.
Other prices in the same group: First consultation, Repeat consultation, Out-of-hours consultation, Nurse consultation, Nail clipping, Anal gland expression, Microchipping, Animal health certificate, Vaccinations – primary course, Vaccinations – booster, Kennel cough vaccination. All 36 treatments.
Common questions
What does the pet care plan price include?
On the standard list it appears as "Pet care plan(s) (monthly cost), and a link to further information on the practice website about plan inclusions". Published prices include VAT and are for a typical case. Complications cost more.
Why do vets publish the price of pet care plan?
Because the competition regulator told them to. It found in 2026 that owners could not compare vet prices and that prices had risen faster than inflation, so every practice now has to publish the same 36 prices, including pet care plan, on its website one click from the home page. The big chains must do it by 23 December 2026 and everyone else by 23 March 2027.
Not veterinary advice. This page compares what practices charge. It does not say whether a treatment or a medicine is right for your animal, and nothing here should be used to start, stop or change any treatment. Only your own vet, who can examine your animal, can advise you. If your animal is unwell, ring a vet. In an emergency, use an out-of-hours vet.
How this is ordered. By price, lowest first, unless you sort it yourself by clicking a heading. Nobody pays to appear here, to appear higher, or to be left out, and no practice has any say in the order. How we collect prices.
About these prices: each figure is as published on the practice's own website on the date shown, VAT included where the practice says so, for the size of pet and the inclusions stated. Practices now have to publish a standard price list and keep it current (the rules), but the price you pay depends on your pet, so confirm with the practice before you book. Spotted a mistake? Tell us and we will re-check the source within two working days.
