Two bars per procedure: the pale bar is the advertised list price spread, purple is what people actually paid, on one shared scale (£1 to £22,000, logarithmic). Delta is the gap between the two medians. Hover for the numbers.

How it works

Look it up

Find your procedure. See the real range, not a blog's "it depends".

Check your quote

Compare what you've been quoted against what people actually paid.

Add your bill

Thirty seconds, fully anonymous. Every price you share makes the next person harder to overcharge.

“The same operation, on the same animal, can cost three times more depending on who owns the practice. They know the prices. Now you do too.”
