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 £18 | £216 | Two consultations per plan year, two nurse consultations per plan year, annual health check and vaccination, microchip, nail clip, anal gland expression, kennel cough vaccination (if applicable) |
| Pet Health for Life | dog small dogs | from £20 | £240 | Two consultations per plan year, two nurse consultations per plan year, annual health check and vaccination, microchip, nail clip, anal gland expression, kennel cough vaccination (if applicable) |
| Pet Health for Life | dog medium dogs | from £20 | £240 | Two consultations per plan year, two nurse consultations per plan year, annual health check and vaccination, microchip, nail clip, anal gland expression, kennel cough vaccination (if applicable) |
| Pet Health for Life | dog large dogs | from £26 | £312 | Two consultations per plan year, two nurse consultations per plan year, annual health check and vaccination, microchip, nail clip, anal gland expression, kennel cough vaccination (if applicable) |
| Pet Health for Life | dog extra-large dogs | from £26 | £312 | Two consultations per plan year, two nurse consultations per plan year, annual health check and vaccination, microchip, nail clip, anal gland expression, kennel cough vaccination (if applicable) |
| Pet Health for Life | dog giant dogs | from £26 | £312 | Two consultations per plan year, two nurse consultations per plan year, annual health check and vaccination, microchip, nail clip, anal gland expression, kennel cough vaccination (if applicable) |
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.
