The clinic provides routine and surgical care, with access to 24-hour emergency support through Medivet’s network of 24-hour centres.

Pricing
A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit below average, but this is based on very few comparable services. Medivet lists an overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am. Recent reviewers also mention being told costs before treatment, and one described a kitten check-up, first vaccinations, and microchipping as very reasonable.
