Frequently asked questions

How much does Microchipping cost at a UK vet?
Petfair currently tracks fresh, comparable prices for standalone microchipping at 136 veterinary practices across the UK. The median listed price is £30.
Why do Microchipping prices vary between vets?
Veterinary fees in the UK are not regulated. Prices differ based on location (London practices typically charge more), practice type (corporate chains vs independents), what is included in the fee (consultation, medication, follow-up), and individual practice overheads.
Does the price include everything?
Not necessarily. The prices shown are published by each clinic for the named procedure. They may or may not include the consultation fee, pre-operative tests, anaesthesia monitoring, or post-operative medication. Always confirm the full cost directly with the clinic before booking.
