Our charges

Referral veterinary care can be more complex than first-opinion, routine care, which can be reflected in the associated charges.  

As a guide, you can find a list of charges of our referral services below.

We will keep clients and referring veterinary surgeons informed of treatment plans and estimated charges throughout the referral process, but please do reach out to our team if you have any questions or would like any additional information.

Pet insurance can really help buffer you against unexpected illness and injury, and we do recommend it.

You will pay a regular premium, usually monthly, and some other costs or co-payments, such as an excess if you make a claim. Depending on your policy, some treatments might not be covered, and claims may affect your premiums.

Please get in touch for general advice about pet insurance; we’ll be happy to speak to you about it.

What to expect when you visit us

While under our care, your pet will have access to our excellent facilities as well as our well trained, caring, and dedicated team.

All VetPartners referral practices are accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons’ Practice Standards Scheme, ensuring your pet will receive regulated standards of care.

In collaboration with your referring veterinary surgeon, each initial consultation involves a private discussion about any concerns.

We’ll review your pet’s records, ask you questions about their health and behaviour and complete a physical examination, focused on any problems.

We’ll use our knowledge and experience to establish areas of concern and to discuss your options, providing estimates for tests and treatment that might be needed to support you in deciding the best route for you and your pet.

Please discuss your budget freely with us; if you let us know your boundaries, we can work together to try and find a realistic solution, without compromising your pet’s welfare or your own financial position.

Veterinary medicine can be complicated and unpredictable, but whatever happens, we’ll do our best to make sure you understand what’s happening, to guide you through any investigations and treatment and to keep you updated with costs.

Do you have pet insurance? 

Knowing this upfront will help ensure we comply with the terms of your policy.

Policies can vary significantly; understanding what yours covers, any limits, and what your contributions will be, will help us work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your budget, just as we would for uninsured pets.
