What does veterinary care cost?

We believe in being open about pricing- so that you can make informed decisions about your pet’s care.
Why our prices may differ
Many veterinary practices refer patients elsewhere for: –
- Emergency care
- Overnight monitoring or hospitalisation
- Advanced soft tissue surgery
- Advanced medical care
- Orthopaedics
This can mean: –
- Multiple locations
- A different veterinary practice treating your pet
- Additional referral fees
At St James Veterinary Group, we aim to do everything here!
-Your pet stays with a team that knows them- with full access to their clinical notes, 24 hours a day
What you are paying for
When you choose us, you’re paying for:
- 24/7 on site veterinary and nursing care
- Advanced surgical and diagnostic facilities
- Continuous monitoring for hospital patients
- A consistent team who knows your pet
Value over time
Cheaper up front care can sometimes lead to higher overall costs if:
- Cases need to be referred elsewhere
- Conditions are not diagnosed early
- Emergency care is delayed or fragmented
Our goal is to provide complete care from start to finish, reducing stress for both you and your pet


No surprises
Before any treatment, we:
- Provide clear estimates
- Explain all options
- Help you choose what’s right for your pet and your budget
