This published span covers 24 practices, but the current procedure identity combines materially different services, so no typical price is stated.
Estimate helperBefore you agree to a written prescriptionQuestions to make the estimate easier to understand.
Separate the clinic prescription fee from the cost of the medicine, delivery and any consultation or monitoring needed.
These are possible components only: the price may include some, all or none of them. Ask the clinic whether each item is covered. Prices are not directly comparable unless the scope matches.
What to confirm
- Confirm whether the fee is per prescription, per medicine or per item, and how many repeats it permits.
- Ask how long the prescription is valid and whether a recheck or monitoring test would be charged separately.
- Check the exact medicine, strength, formulation, pack quantity and delivery cost before comparing retailers.
For medicines sold online, use the VMD register where registration is required and follow the prescription supplied by your vet.

Current professional guidanceRCVS guidance says non-emergency treatment should have a written estimate with likely itemised charges, complications, follow-up and VAT; material increases should be discussed before continuing. RCVS source ↗
Current lawThe Consumer Rights Act covers consumer services, including reasonable care and skill and a reasonable charge if no exact price was agreed. GOV.UK source ↗ Online suppliers of POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS medicines must be VMD-registered before supply. VMD guidance ↗
Future CMA requirementsStatus checked 31 August 2026: the substantive CMA Order was still being finalised, so its specific £500 estimate and update thresholds were not yet in force. CMA status ↗
