The Cheapest Vets in London: 2026 Data

The Cheapest Vets in London: 2026 Data

Finding a cheap vet in London feels impossible. Most practices don't even list their prices online. So we did something about it: we called 199 London vet practices and asked what they charge.

Here's what we found.

Cheapest Consultation: £35

The cheapest standard consultation we found in London costs just £35 at select independent practices. The average across all 199 practices is £62, and the most expensive charges £102.

That's a 191% difference between the cheapest and most expensive consultation in the same city. For a 10-minute appointment.

Cheapest Vaccination: £21

Primary vaccination courses range from £21 to £170 across London. The average is around £103. The cheapest options tend to be at independent practices and charity clinics.

Cheapest Dog Neutering: £180

Male dog castration ranges from £180 to £500 in London. That's a potential saving of £320 just by choosing the right practice. Female dog spaying is even more varied: £200 to £750.

Cheapest Emergency Visit: £50

Emergency consultation fees range from £50 to £270. The average is £130. Worth knowing before you need it — you don't want to be googling prices during an emergency.

Cheapest Dental Clean: £154

Dental cleaning under anaesthetic varies wildly: £154 to £1,020. That's the single biggest price gap we found across any procedure. Always get quotes from at least 3 practices before booking dental work.

How to Find the Cheapest Vet Near You

The cheapest practice overall depends entirely on where you live and what your pet needs. Use Vet Fair's postcode search to compare prices from practices near you — it takes about 10 seconds.

Don't forget to check charity practices like PDSA and Blue Cross if you're on a low income — they offer significantly discounted treatment.
