Yea my vets out of hours are about this much.. I will say though... I never use it, because my vet said there's no point really as they have no exotics cover.. So if I suspected gut stasis for example I'd go to vets4pets, get them to give painkillers and gut meds, and then I'd go to my actual vet when they open the next morning. In an emergency I'd do the same and try manage it best myself til I can get the animal to my proper vets, only because vets4pets is 24 hour and don't increase the prices, and I'd get the same rubbish care there for way less money [emoji38] might seem a bit crazy, but I've also done this on a weekend when my vets have been shut, and my vets just requests the files over after.We’re £220 <11pm
And £260 >11pm
That’s for the consult so treatment/hospitalisation are on top of this

Even though they aren't exotics trained and I don't really rate them, they can do gut stimulants, and painkillers (altho they always suggest a low dose, which my vet has said to change in the past) not conventional probably, but I'd rather spend £50 on meds, than £300 just to see someone similar and get meds.. Considering I'll be going to my proper vet as soon as they open [emoji38] also all the vets now are not that close to me :S
I'm not sure these days - our cat is on a total health care plan so any consults, meds (any time of the day) are all included in the monthly fee we pay. Plus my daughter works there so, for our other pets, cost is reduced
I have £120 in my head but I could be well out. Our vet is open 7am till 11pm on weekdays & normal office hrs on a weekend too so out of hrs is quite short. Standard consults are £40 plus though so I guess we pay for the longer opening hrs in a roundabout way.
Well without telling you my local one... Idk how to answer, but I can think of 3 nearish to me that are.. Maybe it's not all of them? I'm sure if you go on their website it'll tell you the ones that are 24 hours 365 don't charge extra for out of hours either, it's just normal day pricesWhich Vets4Pets is 24 hour? I didn't know any were. I go to a Vets4Pets and they are open weekends, but it's normal practice hours.

There's a few more but depends where you are I guess, Rayleigh is far from me. There's one in basildon too apparently, off a127I didn't realise this was a thing at all. I just went on their website and found one - Rayleigh. That's the only one I could see in Essex, but I didn't check them all.
Yea it's good to know tho I think!I'm not looking to change vets. Just being nosey really (as usual)!
I meant to ask you about this total healthcare plan when you mentioned it before. What is it?
