Frequently asked questions
How much does written prescription fee cost in Edinburgh?
Written prescription fee in Edinburgh costs between £16 and £34.48, with an average of £22.99 across 16 practices. Prices are published under the CMA Veterinary Market Investigation Order.
Why do vet prices vary so much?
Vet prices vary depending on location, practice size, staffing costs, equipment, and whether the practice is independently owned or part of a corporate group. The CMA ruling means practices must now publish prices, making it easier to compare and shop around.
Are these prices guaranteed?
Prices are published directly by practices under CMA transparency rules. Always confirm the price with your vet before booking, as individual circumstances (e.g. animal weight, complexity) may affect the final cost.
