Choosing a vets

What sort of price do you pay for neutering and vaccinations?
I'm choosing a vet to take George to get his first vaccinations, but I don't know what sort of price is reasonable
 
I can't remember the price of vaccinations but I paid £130 for a spay. I think that is the higher end of vet fees but each vet has its own price so it might depend on the practice. :wave:
 
Prices all depend on the practice, at ours it's £33 for neuter and £7 for the aftercare metacam, £53 for spay and £7 for aftercare metacam and the combination vaccine is £20.50.

Our vets is cheap but they're very good, the vet practice down the road to them are very expensive and awful, so have a ring around and make sure your happy with them whatever the price.

The fun of using Goddard vet group :roll: but she is the only vet I trust so I pay the silly price.
 
I have not had the combined yet so not sure what the price is but the old ones were about £18 each. Spay was about £60 about 3 years ago.

The most important thing though is to get a vet that is bunny savvy so ask lots of questions about what experience they have with bunnies. Maybe even put something in rabbit chat about someone recommending a vet in your area.

^ This. A good rabbit-savvy vet is so very important.
 
Price isn't always the best indication - some vets may charge really high prices but not have much bunny knowledge and, conversely, a cheap vet doesn't necessarily mean that the service you'll get is inferior. Getting recommendations from local members is good. :thumb: There's also a list of questions on this thread that might help you decide if the vet you're considering seems rabbit savvy. http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?267127-How-to-find-a-good-rabbit-vet
