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.

What owners say

The rating is Google's, not ours. A high average from a handful of reviews says less than a slightly lower one from hundreds. We do not copy the reviews themselves.
How openly it publishes
- Price page on its website
- One click from the home page
- 17 of the 36 standard prices
- Says whether prices include VAT
- Flea and worm prices published
- Says who owns the practice
- Explains its pet care plan
The score counts the things the rules ask a practice to publish. It measures openness about prices, not the quality of care.
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 Wellness Plan | cat cats | from £17 | £204 | Routine checks, vaccinations, etc. |
| Pet Wellness Plan | dog small dogs | from £18 | £216 | Routine checks, vaccinations, etc. |
| Pet Wellness Plan | dog medium dogs | from £19 | £228 | Routine checks, vaccinations, etc. |
| Pet Wellness Plan | dog large dogs | from £20.50 | £246 | Routine checks, vaccinations, etc. |
| Pet Wellness Plan | dog extra-large dogs | from £24 | £288 | Routine checks, vaccinations, etc. |
| Pet Wellness Plan | dog giant dogs | from £27 | £324 | Routine checks, vaccinations, etc. |
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.
