A "from" price is the starting figure. Prices over £20 are rounded to the pound; the practice's own page has the pence. Where the vet says what a price includes, such as the anaesthetic, pain relief or a check afterwards, it is written under the price.

Pet care plans
The monthly plans this practice sells, and a rough check on whether one pays for itself.
| Plan | For | Per month | Per year | What the practice says it includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pet Health for Life | cat cats | from £17 | £204 | Two consultations included (first two in each plan year), two nurse consultations included (first two in each plan year), vaccinations included, flea & worm treatment included, microchipping included, annual health check included, anal gland expression included |
| Pet Health for Life Plus | cat cats | from £22 | £264 | Unlimited consultations, unlimited nurse consultations, vaccinations included, flea & worm treatment included, microchipping included, annual health check included, anal gland expression included |
| Pet Health for Life | dog small dogs | from £19 | £228 | Two consultations included (first two in each plan year), two nurse consultations included (first two in each plan year), vaccinations included, flea & worm treatment included, microchipping included, annual health check included, anal gland expression included |
| Pet Health for Life | dog large dogs | from £22 | £264 | Two consultations included (first two in each plan year), two nurse consultations included (first two in each plan year), vaccinations included, flea & worm treatment included, microchipping included, annual health check included, anal gland expression included |
| Pet Health for Life Plus | dog small dogs | from £24 | £288 | Unlimited consultations, unlimited nurse consultations, vaccinations included, flea & worm treatment included, microchipping included, annual health check included, anal gland expression included |
| Pet Health for Life Plus | dog large dogs | from £27 | £324 | Unlimited consultations, unlimited nurse consultations, vaccinations included, flea & worm treatment included, microchipping included, annual health check included, anal gland expression included |
A rough check only. Most plans also include flea and worm treatment, nail clips and a discount on other work, and this sum counts only a yearly booster and two consultations. If you would buy the extras anyway, the plan can still come out ahead.

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.
