What moves the price
- Type of service required — a routine check-up or vaccination costs less than diagnostic work or palliative care.

- Any additional treatments or medications needed — drugs, tests and vaccines given during the visit are added to the call-out fee.
- Your pet's size — larger animals need bigger doses of medication and more handling during treatment.
- Time of the visit — an out-of-hours or emergency mobile vet visit costs more than a booked weekday appointment.
