Emergency vs routine costs
See how daytime consultation fees usually differ from emergency appointments — using labelled national guide bands that work with zero local data.
Fee bands for planning only. If your pet needs urgent care, contact your vet or an emergency clinic now — do not delay for price comparison.
Routine consultation
national guide£25–£120
Daytime appointment for non-urgent issues. Ask what the consult includes and whether tests or meds are extra.
Compare consultation pricesEmergency appointment
national guide£80–£400
Appointment / triage fee only — treatment, hospitalisation, and diagnostics usually add to the bill. Out-of-hours fees are often higher.
Compare emergency pricesWhen the higher band is normal
- Evening, weekend, or bank-holiday presentation
- Stabilisation, oxygen, imaging, or bloods before a diagnosis
- Referral or dedicated emergency centre versus a daytime consult
These bands work with no local clinic data. Where practices publish fees, comparison shows labelled local figures instead.
