A low price with nothing in the "included" column may mean the vet has not said, not that nothing is included. Open the practice for the detail.

Common questions
How much does repeat prescription fee cost at the vet in the UK?
Typically £35 for rabbits. That is the middle price across 10 UK practices that publish one, so half charge less and half charge more.
Does the price of repeat prescription fee depend on the size of my pet?
Yes. Most practices price repeat prescription fee by weight. Typical published prices: all pets £38; rabbits £35; cats £35; dogs (all sizes) £35. The standard list uses cats and five dog sizes (small, medium, large, extra large and giant), but each practice sets its own kilogram limits, so ask which band your pet falls in.
How can I pay less for repeat prescription fee?
Compare the vets in your own town first: the gap between the cheapest and dearest is often larger than the gap between towns. Ask for a written estimate before you agree to anything, which practices must give for treatment over £500.
What does the repeat prescription fee price include?
On the standard list it appears as "Prescription fee (repeat)". Published prices include VAT and are for a typical case. Complications cost more.
Why do vets publish the price of repeat prescription fee?
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 repeat prescription fee, 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?
