It is important to be aware that the charges for emergency out of hours consultations and treatments are naturally higher and will vary depending on client eligibility. For example Pet Health Club (PHC) members receive reduced charges for these consultations as part of their membership benefits. Please ask if you require more information on prices, eligibility or Pet Health Club membership. It can also be useful to read our information on pet insurance as this can prove invaluable in some cases.
