How we collect vet prices
Every price on Petfair comes directly from a UK veterinary practice's own published fee schedule or website. We never estimate, interpolate, or use averages from third-party sources.

Our collection process
We systematically visit UK veterinary practice websites and extract prices from their publicly accessible fee pages, pricing guides, and downloadable price lists. Only prices that the clinic itself has chosen to make public are included in our dataset.
When a clinic does not publish its prices online, we mark it as “Not listed” rather than guess or exclude the clinic. The practice is still shown on Petfair so pet owners know it exists, but no price is displayed.
We do not scrape data that requires login, a quote request, or a phone call to obtain. If a price is only available after providing personal details, it is not in our dataset.
What the prices include
Prices shown are the fee as published by the clinic for the named procedure. They may or may not include:
- Consultation or examination fee (some clinics include this; others charge separately)
- Pre-operative blood tests for surgical procedures
- Anaesthesia monitoring
- Post-operative medication
- Follow-up appointments
We always recommend confirming the total cost with your chosen clinic before booking. The clinic's own fee schedule is the authoritative source.
How often prices are updated
We re-check clinic pricing pages on a rolling basis. Our dataset was last rebuilt on 2026-04-15. Individual price rows display the date they were last verified where available.
Vet fees can change without notice — particularly for surgical procedures where costs are affected by the pet's individual circumstances. Always treat prices shown as a guide and verify directly with the clinic.
What we do not include
- Health plan or insurance prices — these vary by individual plan and are not comparable
- Emergency or out-of-hours surcharges, unless published as a standalone fee
- Prices that require a quote or consultation to obtain
- Estimated or interpolated prices
- Prices from user submissions or unverified third-party sources
Reporting an error
If you find a price on Petfair that appears out of date or incorrect, please check the clinic's own website first — they are the source of truth. If there is a significant discrepancy, we welcome corrections so we can update our records.
