Pet services prices in the UK are up 50% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Veterinary and other services for pets, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical mobile vet would have cost about £55 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 L7HH →

How to pay less
- Book a mobile vet visit in advance rather than same day where it is not urgent
- Have several pets seen on one visit to share the visit fee
- Book a daytime mobile vet visit rather than an evening or weekend one when the problem can safely wait
Before you book
- You can check the mobile vet is registered with the RCVS, as every practising vet is required to be
- Ask what the visit fee covers and what medicines or tests might cost on top
- Have your pet's records, medication and insurance details ready for the vet
- For emergencies, call straight away, as out-of-hours mobile vet cover varies by area
Mobile Vet cost: questions people ask
£60–£200, with about £90 typical for a home consultation. A booked daytime visit outside London costs the least; an overnight emergency visit costs the most.
Most home consultations last 30 to 60 minutes, which is often longer than a surgery appointment.
Following the CMA's investigation into vet services, practices must publish clear price lists for common services, which helps you compare.
Home visits suit anxious, elderly or less mobile pets and routine care. Surgery, X-rays and complex tests still need a practice.
Medicines, vaccines, tests and procedures are added to the bill, along with any travel surcharge.
