The practice says its prices include VAT. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Complete Care Plan - Cat & Kitten | cat cats | from £16.99 | £204 | vaccinations, face-to-face health checks, free 24/7 vet helpline, flea and worm prevention Claimed saving £300 a year. |
| Complete Care Plan - Dog & Puppy | dog small dogs | from £19.99 | £240 | vaccinations, face-to-face health checks, free 24/7 vet helpline, flea and worm prevention Claimed saving £300 a year. |
| Complete Care Plan - Dog & Puppy | dog large dogs | from £23.99 | £288 | vaccinations, face-to-face health checks, free 24/7 vet helpline, flea and worm prevention Claimed saving £300 a year. |
| Complete Care Plan - Rabbit | rabbit rabbits | from £10.99 | £132 | vaccinations, face-to-face health checks, free 24/7 vet helpline, flea and worm prevention |
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.
