how much is a consultation with your vet?

[Happytodayhappytomorrow]

Am I really out of touch?

A consultation is £60 now. I appreciate location might play a part (I'm borders of North London and Hertfordshire).

Is this fairly standard I'm wondering.

I’m south-east and it’s £20 something.
£60 is extortionate!
One of my dogs has had to be at the vets for 10hours, on a drip the whole time, anti-sickness injection and came home with a weeks worth of pre-biotic paste for less than £200.

That's extortionate!

Ours is £22.50. We're in the NW.

Ours was £42 this week which I thought was a lot!

I think mine is just under £50

£25ish? Not sure, TBH - last 2 have resulted in things needing treating and the cost has been wrapped into that.

I suspect there’s also ‘already registered client’ price and ‘new to surgery’ price, though I could be wrong.

£40 - south east London

I've checked the website and it's the listed consultation charge so I'm having a ring around to see if it's the going rate for this area.

I don't want to just go for the cheapest obviously (my dear boy deserves the best ) but if I can save £20 a time but going slightly further afield, I might have to look into doing so.

I think it's £40 odd Plymouth

I forgot to say, thank you all for posting how much you pay.

That seems a lot.

DDog hasn't needed an appointment for over 18months now, and it was £35 last time. I've just had a look at the website and, unhelpfully, they don't list current consultation fees.

I have in my mind £38, but I can't find it on the practice website either

We're a long way from London. Pet insurance premiums are cheaper here too!

35

Just paid £160 for a blood test and consultation 😩

£25-30 ish depending on vet here, West Mids.

£30 here East Midlands

That seems an awful lot. Am in South London and pay £35 ish (can't remember exact amount it's been a while, but definitely not more than £40 base charge).

I am registered with two vets in Suffolk. £60 in posh market town nearest to me , £40 in slightly shabby market town 10 minutes further away.

Consultation is free if you are on their care plan (which is really good actually as if you have doubts you just go anyway) but if not then it’s £45. South East, fabulous independent practice.

Ours is £58 initial then £51 follow up
Once I got charged the follow up for having a conversation with the overnight vet at the desk and asking some questions as I was paying for the previous consultation I'd literally just had.

Would like to move vets but they're all full

Absolute bastards my ones

Midlands £35 , was £135 on New Years Day 😫

£45 Wales

£40 Central Scotland.

My current vet doesn't charge for follow up consults which my old one did i.e. my cat needed 3 follow ups after dental surgery because he split his stitches open and it got infected and I just got charged for medication.

£30 in the south west here.

About £23

It's on their website as £28 but I didn't get charged for the last one I had as there was nothing wrong with my dog in my vet's opinion.
