How much do common vet procedures cost in the UK?
A standard regular-hours vet consultation currently has published prices from £39–£83in Petfair's sample, while the median published price for standalone microchipping is £30 and for a female cat spay is £150.
These figures come from prices publicly published by veterinary practices and groups; they are not a complete survey of every UK practice. Final costs can vary with the animal, location, clinical circumstances and what the fee includes. Confirm the treatment and final price directly with the veterinary practice.
