No two cases are the same and referral cases are far from routine so it is difficult to put together an accurate price list. However, we have put together a guide to prices for some of the more common conditions we see. These prices may not all be up-to-date so please use as a guide only.
Individualised estimates are always given at the time of consultation.
If you would like an idea of costs for a case not appearing on this list please give us a call or email us and we will be happy to provide an estimate.

We will always provide an estimate of anticipated costs in advance of commencing any treatment, which is discussed with the owner during the initial consultation. On occasions, there may be changes in a patient’s condition, complications, additional diagnoses, prolonged hospitalisation and other issues which may lead to costs exceeding the initial estimate. We will always endeavour to explain these costs to the owner and update the estimate prior to these costs being incurred but there can be rare occasions when this may not be feasible due to the patient’s urgent clinical need and/or inability to contact the owner.
Every pet that is referred to us is booked in for an initial consultation, which will incur a consultation fee. If your pet is not admitted to the hospital, settlement of the consultation fee is due at the time of your appointment. The consultation charge will be greater for emergency or short- notice appointments. Consultation fees are available in the Price Guide section on our website or on request.
If your pet is insured, we can consider in very limited circumstances setting up a direct claim, where we will claim our fees directly from the insurance company. You will need to bring the current valid insurance certificate or policy schedule with you, and an up-to-date claim form. If your pet is admitted to the hospital, a deposit is required. If we are claiming directly from your insurance company, we will request a deposit of 400 euro, as long at this covers your policy excess. This deposit may need to be increased if your policy has a percentage excess, or if your estimate for treatment is larger than your policy limit. We accept all debit & credit cards except for American Express. We will not guarantee a direct claim and if this has not been pre autherised prior to the appointment payment in full will be necessary or credic card details with authorisation will be necessary and you will hav eto claim from the insurance company afterwards.
Once your pet has been discharged, we will complete the appropriate section of the claim form and forward it directly to your insurance company. There is a one-off fee of 30 Euros for this service, which is not usually covered by most insurance companies. Please note, a further claim form will be required for each future visit.
Once we have received payment from the insurance company, the deposit is returned to the client, minus any deductions made by the insurance company (i.e. the excess if one applies, the admin fee and any other fees not met by the insurance company). If our fees are not met by the insurance company and they exceed the value of the deposit, the client will become personally liable for them.
Clients should be aware that we cannot guarantee their insurance company will cover their pet’s treatment and they are therefore encouraged to contact their insurance company to verify their cover prior to referral. Clients should contact us well in advance of their appointment if a pre-authorisation is required as some insurance companies can take up to 7 days to grant a pre-authorisation and some do not agree to pre-authorisation at all.
