Fees and insurance
 To allow us to keep our fees
competitive we ask that you settle your account at the time of
treatment. For your convenience we accept payment by cash, cheque
(with a valid bankers card), switch and most major credit cards.
Insurance:
The use of modern diagnostic
equipment and sophisticated treatments can be expensive, so we
advise that you insure your pet. This allows us to carry out the
best possible treatment as the constraints of cost are removed.
Insurance provides peace of mind should your pet become ill or
involved in an accident. On average one in three pets will require
veterinary treatment each year. Once over the age of ten, this rises
to two in three.
 Whichever policy you decide to
take, read the small print carefully. Cheaper policies are often so
for a reason. Many policies will have time limits on them i.e. they
will only treat the pet for a condition for a period of one year from
when it was first diagnosed. As many conditions require lifelong
treatment, this type of policy will leave the owner with a huge
financial burden once the year is up.
In line with most other veterinary
surgeries, we ask that you settle your account with us direct and
claim the payment (less your excess) from the insurance company. At
present we do not charge a fee for filling out insurance forms.
