How does Petfair collect vet prices?

We gather publicly listed prices directly from UK veterinary practice websites, checked and updated regularly.

Are vet prices regulated in the UK?

Most vet fees are still set by individual practices, so prices can vary significantly. However, following the CMA's 2026 investigation, practices will be required to publish standardised price lists, prescription fees are being capped, and ownership transparency is being strengthened. Petfair helps pet owners compare the prices that are already publicly available today.

Why do vet prices vary so much?

Prices differ based on location, practice type, equipment, staff experience, and corporate ownership. Comparing prices before you book can save a significant amount.

Is Petfair free to use?

Yes, completely free. We do not charge pet owners to search or compare prices, and we do not take referral fees from clinics.

How often is pricing data updated?

We re-check clinic pricing pages on a rolling basis. Each price row shows a last checked date where available.

Why Petfair

Real published prices, not estimates

We show the fees clinics publish themselves — never made-up numbers.

Published, not invented

Prices come from publicly available clinic price lists, where we find them. We never invent or estimate a missing price.

“Not listed” means not listed

If a clinic does not publish a price online, we show it as “Not listed” rather than guess — so you always know what is real.

Straight from the clinic

Each price is recorded from the clinic’s own fee page or price list, with a link back to the source where available.

Confirm before you book

Vet fees can change and may not include everything. Treat prices as a guide and confirm the total with the clinic before booking.
