By law, a veterinary surgeon can only prescribe relevant veterinary medicinal products following a clinical assessment of an animal under their care.

In line with the British Veterinary Association guidelines, the policy of this practice is to re-assess an animal requiring repeat prescriptions for, or supplies of, relevant veterinary medicinal products every 3-6 months (dependant on the type of medication), but this may vary with individual circumstances. The standard charge for a re-examination is the same as a subsequent consultation (currently £18.88).

A prescription may not be appropriate if your animal is an in-patient or immediate treatment is necessary.

Upon request, any member of staff will be happy to provided a quote of the cost of any medicine that may be prescribed for your pet.

You may obtain relevant prescription-only medicines, category V (POM-Vs) from your veterinary surgeon or ask for a prescription and obtain these medicines from another veterinary surgeon or a pharmacy. Prescriptions are available from this practice, providing the pet meets the above prescribing guidelines. The current price of a prescription is £10.42.

The current prices for the ten veterinary medicinal products most commonly prescribed during the past three months are:
