Honest prices, fair choices. Free, independent vet price comparison across the UK.
If your pet needs help right now: call your own vet first, even out of hours. Their phone line or answerphone gives their emergency number. Below are the nearest emergency clinics and practices with their own out-of-hours service. Always phone before you set off so they can get ready for you.
Signs that can’t wait: trouble breathing, collapse, a seizure, heavy bleeding, suspected poisoning, a swollen tight belly, straining without passing urine, or a road accident.
Prices are checked weekly from each practice’s own published price list; ▲ and ▼ show changes since the previous check. Always confirm with the practice before booking. How we rank
The best vet isn’t always the cheapest. It’s the one that’s close by, easy to get into, trusted by people you know and fair on price. Here’s what pet owners told the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) when it investigated UK vet services.
The most common reason people pick a vet. Check-ups, follow-ups and emergencies are all easier when it’s nearby.
Ask friends and neighbours, and read recent reviews, especially about how the team handles nervous pets.
Check opening hours, how quickly you can get an appointment, and who covers nights and weekends.
A cheap consultation can come with pricier vaccinations or neutering. Compare the services your pet will need over a year, not just the first visit: choose “Yearly cost” under More options.
Independent and group-owned vets can both give excellent care. Fewer than half of people at group practices know who owns theirs, so we show it for every vet.
