A vet consultation fee can cost more than £30 for your pet to be seen by the vet.
In some cases, you can pay £50 to £60 for a standard consultation.
Vet fees can range from the initial vet consultation fee to more expensive vet treatments prices for things like for x-rays, operations and other specialist procedures.
While exact costs can vary depending on the vets, and the specific needs of your dog, here are some ballpark figures to give you an idea of some of the average vet costs in the UK for dogs:
Vaccinations – these costs will vary depending on what your dog needs, but puppy vaccinations can cost at least £70 (more if you also opt to vaccinate against kennel cough).
Your dog will then need annual boosters which cost about £50 per year.
Neutering– you can expect a castration procedure to cost you around £200 and a spaying procedure over £250.
Dental care – dental care can be unexpectedly pricey.
You should be prepared that dental treatments can cost upwards of £350 depending on the needs of your dog.
Pregnancy, birth and after care – costs related to pregnancy and birth can also vary dramatically.
A scheduled c-section can cost approximately £800 but an emergency caesarean can cost 80% more – averaging at £1,400.
Euthanasia – helping your dog to cross the rainbow bridge may cost anything from £80 to £200.
It varies on factors like whether it happens at home or at the vets.
The price is also affected by whether if it’s an emergency appointment or during scheduled working hours.

The cost of our pet health check is £55.
Any additional treatments or procedures arising are charged in addition to this.
We strongly recommend joining our Pet Health Plans where the health check is included as part of the plan AND you can spread the costs of this and other routine pet healthcare costs in easy monthly payments starting from just £16pm.
A standard pet health check takes 15 – 20 minutes.
The health check is carried out by one of our experienced veterinary surgeons.
One of our final year veterinary students may discuss your pet and perform an initial examination as this is an important part of their training, but this will always be repeated by the supervising veterinary surgeon.
All pets should have a full health check once per year.
We recommend that older pets are checked every six months as they can be prone to developing age related health conditions.
