Common questions
How much does nurse consult cost in the UK?
Across 15 real UK prices, the median is £40, with bills running from £18 to £59. These are real prices people paid or that practices published, not estimates.
Why do nurse consult prices vary so much?
It depends on where you are, who owns the practice, and exactly what is included. The Competition and Markets Authority found corporate-owned practices charged 18.3% more on average than independents, and vet prices rose 63% between 2016 and 2023.
Is nurse consult cheaper at an independent vet?
Often, yes. The CMA's 2026 review found independent practices averaged 18.3% less than the six large corporate groups for comparable work. From September 2026 every practice must publish a price list, so comparing a few nearby is worth it.
