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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Healthcare Plan | cat cats | from £16 | £192 | Annual health check & vaccination consultation, nurse consult, microchip for £5, nail clip 2 per year, anal gland expression 2 per year, basic urine screen |
| Healthcare Plan | dog small dogs | from £17 | £204 | Annual health check & vaccination consultation, nurse consult, microchip for £5, nail clip 2 per year, anal gland expression 2 per year, basic urine screen |
| Healthcare Plan | dog medium dogs | from £18 | £216 | Annual health check & vaccination consultation, nurse consult, microchip for £5, nail clip 2 per year, anal gland expression 2 per year, basic urine screen |
| Healthcare Plan | dog large dogs | from £21 | £252 | Annual health check & vaccination consultation, nurse consult, microchip for £5, nail clip 2 per year, anal gland expression 2 per year, basic urine screen |
| Healthcare Plan | dog giant dogs | from £25.50 | £306 | Annual health check & vaccination consultation, nurse consult, microchip for £5, nail clip 2 per year, anal gland expression 2 per year, basic urine screen |
| Healthcare Plan | rabbit rabbits | from £15 | £180 | Annual vaccination, nurse consult, microchip for £5, nail clip 2 per year, anal gland expression 2 per year, basic urine screen |
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?
