Pricing
A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit above average, but this is based on very few comparable services. One published Medivet price is an overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am. Review comments on cost are mixed: some owners are happy with the care, while others describe estimates and treatment options as expensive.
