Prices are as each vet publishes them, VAT included where the vet says so. A "from" price is the starting figure and usually rises with the size of the pet. Ratings are Google's, with the number of reviews in brackets. 24h means open round the clock by its published hours and Sun open on Sunday; every emergency vet is listed by county. Open a practice for its full list, the weight bands and what each price includes.4 of these practices sit just outside North Shields, marked with the distance: town boundaries put some vets in the next parish along, and a vet a mile away is still your vet.

How to choose a vet in North Shields
Start with the treatment you need, not the consultation price. A practice with a cheap consultation can be dear for surgery, and the other way round. The table above shows four prices side by side; each practice page shows all 36.
Then check what the price includes. Two practices can both say "cat spay £150" and one of them means with pain relief, a pre-op blood test and a follow-up check while the other means without. The practice page lists the inclusions where the vet states them. A spay that costs £30 more and includes the post-op check is not more expensive.
Look at the rating with the number of reviews beside it. A 4.9 from 12 reviews tells you less than a 4.6 from 400. And look at who owns the practice. 7 of the 10 vets here belong to a big chain, the rest are independent or small groups. The chains charge more on average across the UK, though not everywhere and not for everything.
Finally, the practical things: opening hours, whether it takes new registrations, and how far you would drive with a sick animal at 9pm. Every practice page has the hours and the out-of-hours arrangement where the vet publishes one.

Between £46 and £70, and typically £64.25, across the 8 practices in North Shields that publish a price. The lowest is £46 at North Shields Vets. A repeat visit is usually cheaper than a first one, and a nurse appointment cheaper again.

Vets price surgery by the pet's weight, and the price may or may not include the anaesthetic, pain relief, a blood test beforehand and a check afterwards. Compare what is included on each practice page, not only the headline figure.
Which vets in North Shields are part of a chain?
7 of the 10 practices in North Shields belong to a big group: Vets4Pets, VetPartners, IVC Evidensia, CVS Group. The big groups are IVC Evidensia, CVS, Medivet, Vets4Pets, VetPartners and Linnaeus, and most of their practices still trade under the local name. The ownership shown here comes from the groups' own practice lists and from each practice's website; the rules now require every practice to say who owns it.
Why do some vets in North Shields show no prices?
1 practice here had no price list on the website when we last looked, or one we could not read. Every vet has to publish one: the big chains by 23 December 2026 and everyone else by 23 March 2027. We check every practice at least monthly. If you work at one of them and the list is up, tell us where it is and we will read it within two working days.
How this is ordered. By price, lowest first, unless you sort it yourself by clicking a heading. Nobody pays to appear here, to appear higher, or to be left out, and no practice has any say in the order. How we collect prices.
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.
