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.

Who owns Highfield Vets?
We have no record of Highfield Vets belonging to a big group, so it is listed as independent. Every practice now has to say who owns it on its website and at the door.
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.
