Vet consultation fees - how much does yours charge?

[silly milly]

dont get charged consultation fee - just for treatments and prescriptions now.     but my vet is used to me and i get the treatments off the net, so he must not make a living from me!!!!!!!  plus i paid for the lifetime jabs with their first innoculations.   so i go once a year for boostersand it costs..........................................nowt!

£28 before the vet even lays hand on the dog in central Edinburgh although I'm in the process of looking for a new vet now that we've moved and hopefully they'll be a bit less of a rip off  

The vet my parents use in NI and the one I take my lot to if they need it when we're there charges £8 for a consultation, the fees there are so cheap compared to what I pay here and usually she only charges us for materials, medication etc. as we've been taking our dogs there for over 20 years, she's such a fab vet too.

Must be something about Edinburgh - I paid £29 something on Monday .

[joanne_v]

£25 1st visit then £20 then £15 but vet usually just charges me £15 cos I'm there so much with my 4 and fosters.

I pay £26/7 too, in South Devon. Same as others tho, I'm sure there are probably cheaper vets around, but I really like the one I go to, and I trust them, which goes a long way!

[harleys mum]

We pay £27 (fabulous vet) and we are in Inner London - I thought London was supposed to be expensive

No consultation fee here either  - Scotland too

[SandraD]

Around the £25 mark here (Kent) before they lay a hand on the dog.  Same vet/same amount of time charges £8 to see my guinea pigs - why??

[toro]

...and sometimes we leave without paying anything! They just tell us to pay next time...dont know what that says about us and how often we visit the vets though!!

[Carol09]

£18 (Nottingham) everytime I visit, apart from if I see the nurse (Weight/Flea treatment) then she's free.  Someone mentioned the injection for life with the 1st vaccinations, well can you still have the offer at the 1st year booster as I wasn't offered the Vaccine for life when Jay had his first vaccinations

Mine charge £29.50 for 1st consultation. I am in South Leicestershire
Seems a bit steep compared to some of you

You probably use the same vets as us then  although I had it in my head that it was in excess of £30 - will fish out a receipt to check

Yes you might be right, I think that it might have just gone up

Is your's part of a group?

£8 - and he'll throw in emptying anal glands at the same time for free.    The practice is in Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria. But it is mainly a large animal practice and anything that requires more sophisticated equipment means a referral to Penrith or even to the vet hospital in Northumberland. Still a darned good vet though.

You lucky thing.....sounds like a great practise.

I live in West Yorkshire....and the prices are very high.  Ours are £30, getting a little lower for subsequent visits.
