Pricing

Some owners still describe the bills as expensive in real use, including one reviewer who said their pet’s treatment over a year totalled more than £1,000. Earlier examples mentioned by owners include a £49.50 consultation and a £140 visit covering a consultation, antibiotic ear drops and an ear cleaner.
