Choosing a vet should feel simple, not uncertain.

Start with what matters to you: price transparency, independence, or emergency cover. Rightvet shows you which practices publish their prices, who owns them, and where you’ll go at 2am. Enter your postcode to see vets near you, scored on clarity.

A standard consultation costs £40–£75. Vaccinations range from £50–£80. Neutering costs £150–£365 depending on the animal. But prices vary widely by practice and location. Rightvet shows you what’s normal near you, and who’s charging more.

Vet prices have risen 63% since 2016, faster than inflation. Consolidation, specialist equipment, and out-of-hours costs all contribute. Rightvet helps you see which practices are fairly priced across consultations, vaccinations, and treatments.

Independent vets are privately owned. Group vets are part of larger veterinary groups. The CMA found that six companies now own over 60% of UK practices. Some kept their original names after being acquired. Rightvet shows you the ownership status of every practice.

Yes, if the practice publishes them. Around 2 in 5 UK vets still don’t show prices online. Rightvet tracks which practices publish full, partial, or no pricing, so you know who’s transparent before you call.

A low consultation fee doesn’t mean good value. Some practices charge more for treatments. Rightvet checks pricing across consultations, vaccinations, neutering, and dental to show you the full picture.
