## Nearly 30 years of caring for your pets
We started as a mixed practice in Linlithgow with David Porteous as Head Vet, who built a loyal client base and a first class reputation. In 2013 we chose to treat small animals only so we could raise the level of care we give them, and in 2018 we moved our South Queensferry branch into the purpose built practice in The Loan.

# Consultations
Whatever is worrying you about your pet, a consultation is where it starts. You get a vet’s time, a proper examination and a straight answer about what happens next.

On this page [Prices](#prices) [Which appointment do I need?](#which-appointment-do-i-need) [What to bring](#what-to-bring) [FAQs](#faqs)
## What we offer and what it costs
Prices include VAT and are for a typical case. If your pet needs more, we will tell you the cost before we start.
\* Allowances, fair use and plan terms apply. [See what each health plan covers](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/plans).
Anything not listed here is quoted individually – please ask and we will give you an estimate. See our [full price list](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/prices).
## Which appointment do I need?
- **First consultation** – a pet we have not seen before, or a problem that is new. The longer appointment, because the vet needs to examine your pet properly and take a full history.
- **Repeat consultation** – a follow-up for something we are already treating. Shorter, because we know the story.
- **Nurse consultation** – weight checks, post-operative checks, dressings, nail clipping, microchipping and advice. Easier to book and cheaper than seeing a vet.
If you are not sure, ring us. It is better to book the right length of appointment than to run out of time.
## What to bring
Any vaccination or medical records you have, a list of everything your pet is currently taking, and – if it is relevant – a recent urine or stool sample. If someone else at home has noticed something you have not, ask them before you come.

# Dentistry
By three years old, most dogs and cats have some dental disease. It hurts – but pets hide it well, because they carry on eating whether it hurts or not.

## What we offer and what it costs
Prices include VAT and are for a typical case. If your pet needs more, we will tell you the cost before we start.
\* Allowances, fair use and plan terms apply. [See what each health plan covers](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/plans).
Anything not listed here is quoted individually – please ask and we will give you an estimate. See our [full price list](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/prices).
## Signs worth booking for
- Bad breath.
- Chewing on one side, or dropping food.
- Pawing at the mouth, or shying away when you touch their face.
- Red or bleeding gums, or a visible brown build-up.
- Simply being quieter and grumpier than they used to be.
Owners very often tell us afterwards that their pet has come back to life.
## Why it needs a general anaesthetic
A conscious pet will not let anyone examine the back teeth, the inner surfaces or below the gum line – which is exactly where the disease is. Anaesthetic-free dental cleaning polishes the visible outer surface and leaves the real problem untouched.
## If teeth need to come out
We often cannot tell until your pet is asleep and we can probe and x-ray properly. Extractions and dental x-rays are charged separately, so we ring you during the procedure with what we have found and what it costs. Nothing extra goes ahead without your say-so.
## Keeping it at bay
Daily brushing is by far the most effective thing, and our nurses will show you how to build up to it gradually. Dental diets and chews help, but they do not replace brushing.

Anything not listed here is quoted individually – please ask and we will give you an estimate. See our [full price list](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/prices).
## Ring us straight away if your pet
- Is struggling to breathe, or breathing fast while resting.
- Has collapsed, cannot stand, or is having a fit.
- Is bleeding and it will not stop.
- Is trying to be sick or to toilet without anything coming – especially a large-breed dog with a swollen, hard tummy, or a male cat straining in the litter tray. Both are emergencies.
- Has eaten chocolate, grapes or raisins, xylitol, antifreeze, rat poison or human medication.
- Has been hit by a car or had any other significant accident, even if they look fine.
- Is a rabbit or small pet that has stopped eating or passing droppings. In small pets this becomes serious within hours.
- Is in obvious pain, or distressed and you cannot settle them.
## Ring before you set off
We can tell you whether your pet needs to come in, what to do in the meantime, and we can be ready for you when you arrive. Those few minutes on the phone can matter. If you are travelling with an injured animal, keep them warm, quiet and contained.

Please do not feel you have to be certain before you ring us. Many people come in simply to ask whether it is time, and go home again. That conversation is worth having early, when it is not an emergency.

On this page [Prices](#prices) [How do you know when it is time?](#how-do-you-know-when-it-is-time) [What happens](#what-happens) [Worth deciding beforehand](#worth-deciding-beforehand) [FAQs](#faqs)
## What we offer and what it costs
Prices include VAT and are for a typical case. If your pet needs more, we will tell you the cost before we start.
\* Allowances, fair use and plan terms apply. [See what each health plan covers](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/plans).
Anything not listed here is quoted individually – please ask and we will give you an estimate. See our [full price list](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/prices).
## How do you know when it is time?
There is rarely a single moment. It usually helps to think about the ordinary things rather than the medical ones:
- Are they still eating and drinking with any interest?
- Can they get up, get outside, get comfortable?
- Are they still doing the things that made them *them* – the greeting at the door, the spot in the sun, the wag?
- Are the bad days now outnumbering the good ones?
- Is pain being managed, or are we only just keeping ahead of it?
A vet can help you look at this honestly, and we will tell you if we think there is still good time left.
## What happens
We book a quiet appointment, usually at a less busy time, and you can wait somewhere private. You are welcome to stay and most people do – but if you cannot, that is not a failure, and we will be with them. The injection is an overdose of anaesthetic: your pet becomes deeply unconscious within seconds. It is painless, and we can give a sedative first so they are relaxed and sleepy before anything else happens.
## Worth deciding beforehand
- Whether you would like it done at home instead – ring and ask, it is not always possible but often worth asking.
- Who will come with you, and who will drive.
- What happens afterwards: taking them home to bury, communal cremation, or individual cremation with the ashes returned.
- Whether you would like a paw print or a lock of fur. People very often wish afterwards that they had asked.
Deciding these in advance means you do not have to while you are upset.

# Neutering
Neutering prevents unwanted litters and removes some serious health risks later in life. It is also surgery under general anaesthetic, so it deserves a proper conversation first rather than a blanket rule.
Book an appointment
On this page [Prices](#prices) [What it changes](#what-it-changes) [When to do it](#when-to-do-it) [Open or keyhole?](#open-or-keyhole) [What is included in the price](#what-is-included-in-the-price) [FAQs](#faqs)
## What we offer and what it costs
Prices include VAT and are for a typical case. If your pet needs more, we will tell you the cost before we start.
\* Allowances, fair use and plan terms apply. [See what each health plan covers](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/plans).
Anything not listed here is quoted individually – please ask and we will give you an estimate. See our [full price list](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/prices).
## What it changes
- No unwanted litters, and for females no seasons.
- Spaying removes the risk of pyometra, a womb infection that is common in older unspayed females and needs emergency surgery.
- Spaying early enough substantially reduces the risk of mammary tumours.
- Castration removes the risk of testicular cancer and usually reduces roaming, marking and fighting – which in cats means far fewer abscesses and injuries.
- It does *not* fix fear-based or learned behaviour, and can occasionally make anxiety worse. If behaviour is your main reason, talk to us first.
## When to do it
There is no single right age. It depends on species, breed and expected adult size, and for large-breed dogs there is a genuine trade-off worth discussing. We avoid operating during or just after a season. Rather than quote a number, we would prefer to talk about your pet.
## Open or keyhole?
For dogs we offer both. Keyhole spaying uses two or three small incisions instead of one larger one, and recovery is generally quicker and more comfortable. It costs more. Both prices are published by weight band, so you can compare them directly and decide what is right for your dog and your budget.
[See the prices](#prices)
## What is included in the price
Before anything goes ahead you get a written estimate that says plainly, for each item, whether it is included: the pre-operative examination, a pre-anaesthetic blood test, intravenous fluids, pain relief during the procedure, pain relief to take home, post-operative check-ups, and a protective collar or body suit. If anything unexpected comes up during surgery, we ring you before going further.

### Pet health plans
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/plans
> Friends of Westport health plans for cats, dogs and rabbits in South Queensferry. See the monthly cost and exactly what each plan covers.
# Pet health plans
A health plan spreads the cost of your pet’s routine care across the year for a fixed monthly payment, and adds discounts on other treatments. Everything each plan covers is set out in full below, so you can see exactly what you would be paying for.
A health plan is not pet insurance
A plan covers planned, routine care such as health checks, vaccinations and parasite treatment. It does not cover treatment for illness or injury – that is what insurance is for, and the two work well alongside each other. Monthly prices below include VAT.

## Things worth knowing
- Plans run for a minimum of 12 months and renew automatically each year. You pay monthly by Direct Debit.
- Plan discounts apply to eligible Westport Vets services and products. Third-party costs, including external laboratory fees, are not included.
- Where a plan is priced by weight, we use your pet’s current weight at the practice. If they move into a different band we will tell you before the payment changes.
- The full terms, including the Fair Use Policy and how to cancel, are in our [health plan terms](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/health-plan-terms).
## Not sure which plan fits?
Tell us your pet’s age, weight and how often you come in, and we will tell you honestly whether a plan would save you money.

# Pet travel
Pet travel paperwork is unforgiving – one missing date and you are turned away at the border. Start planning at least a month before you go, and longer if your pet has never had a rabies vaccination.

On this page [Prices](#prices) [What your pet needs, in order](#what-your-pet-needs-in-order) [How long a certificate lasts](#how-long-a-certificate-lasts) [Before you book](#before-you-book) [FAQs](#faqs)
## What we offer and what it costs
Prices include VAT and are for a typical case. If your pet needs more, we will tell you the cost before we start.
\* Allowances, fair use and plan terms apply. [See what each health plan covers](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/plans).
Anything not listed here is quoted individually – please ask and we will give you an estimate. See our [full price list](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/prices).
## What your pet needs, in order
- **A microchip**, implanted *before* the rabies vaccination – otherwise the vaccination does not count.
- **A rabies vaccination** from 12 weeks of age, then a wait of **21 days** before you travel.
- **An animal health certificate**, issued by an Official Veterinarian no more than **10 days** before you arrive.
- **Tapeworm treatment** for dogs travelling to Finland, Ireland, Malta, Northern Ireland or Norway, given 24 to 120 hours before arrival.
## How long a certificate lasts
One certificate covers one trip: valid for entry to the EU for 10 days from issue, then 4 months for onward travel within the EU and 4 months for re-entry to Great Britain. Come back and go again, and you need a new one. One certificate can cover up to five pets travelling together, with a charge for each additional animal.
[See the prices](#prices)
## Before you book
Bring your pet’s full vaccination history and microchip paperwork. The appointment takes longer than a normal consultation because the certificate has to be completed and checked carefully. Rules change – check the current requirements for your destination on GOV.UK, and ring us if anything is unclear.

Anything not listed here is quoted individually – please ask and we will give you an estimate. See our [full price list](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/prices).
## Prescription or dispensing – which is cheaper?
It depends on the quantity. For a short course or a small amount, dispensing here is usually cheaper once the prescription fee is taken into account. For long-term medication in larger quantities, a written prescription often saves money. Both prices are published, and if you ask us we will tell you honestly which way round it is for your pet.
[See the prices](#prices)
## Why there is a fee at all
Writing a prescription is a clinical act, not paperwork. The vet has to be satisfied the medicine, dose and quantity are right for your pet, with no interaction with anything else they are taking, and they carry the professional and legal responsibility for that.
## Repeat medication
Ask for repeats before you run out, not after – some medications are dangerous to stop suddenly. Allow a couple of working days, longer if we have to order something in. We cannot keep repeating indefinitely without seeing your pet; for most long-term treatment that means a check every three to six months.
## A tip worth knowing
If your pet needs several items, ask for them all in one go. Only the first is charged at the full rate – anything else written at the same time costs less.

# Our prices
Every price below is what you pay for a typical case, including VAT at the current rate. Some cases are more complex and can cost more – if yours is, we will talk it through and tell you the cost before we start.
[How we work with insurance policies](#insurance)
All prices include VAT. Where the price depends on your pet, open the service to see the price for each. Prices last updated 20 October 2026.
## Working with your pet insurer
Insurance means you can say yes to the treatment your pet needs without worrying about the bill, so we always recommend having a policy in place before you need it. Whichever insurer you use, we will help you make your claim. There are two ways it can work, depending on your policy.
We claim from your insurer
Your insurer pays us directly.
- Ask us before treatment starts – we arrange direct claims case by case, and not every insurer or policy allows them.
- We will need a signed claim form, and your permission to talk to your insurer about the claim.
- You pay your policy excess, and anything your policy does not cover, at the time.
- If your insurer does not pay, the bill remains yours to settle.
You claim from your insurer
Your insurer pays you back.
- You pay us in full when your pet is treated.
- We fill in the vet’s part of your claim form and send your pet’s clinical history to your insurer.
- Your insurer then reimburses you, less your excess.
- Let your insurer know you are claiming and that we may contact them – it keeps things moving.
- The full detail is in our [terms and conditions](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/terms-and-conditions).
## Things worth knowing
- We may charge for written and repeat prescriptions to cover the time, responsibility and professional insurance involved. We will tell you the cost before we issue one.
- Anything not listed here is quoted individually – please ask and we will give you an estimate.
- You can pay by cash, debit card or credit card at the practice. We are unable to accept personal cheques.
## Spread the cost of routine care

# Vaccinations
Vaccination protects against diseases that are still out there and still kill. Every vaccination appointment includes a full health check, which for most adult pets is the one proper examination they get each year.

## What we offer and what it costs
Prices include VAT and are for a typical case. If your pet needs more, we will tell you the cost before we start.
\* Allowances, fair use and plan terms apply. [See what each health plan covers](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/plans).
Anything not listed here is quoted individually – please ask and we will give you an estimate. See our [full price list](https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/prices).
## Starting out
A primary course builds protection from scratch and takes two or three visits a few weeks apart. Puppies usually start at 6 to 8 weeks, kittens at around 9 weeks, and rabbits can be done from 5 weeks. Protection is not complete until a week or two after the final injection – the vet will give you the exact date.
## Keeping it topped up
Immunity fades, so boosters keep it going. Not every component needs doing every year: some are annual, others every three years. We will set a schedule that suits your pet’s species, age, health and lifestyle rather than vaccinating for the sake of it. If a booster has lapsed, ring us – your pet may need to restart the course rather than have a single injection.
## Kennel cough
Given as drops into the nose rather than an injection, and required by nearly all boarding kennels – usually at least two weeks before the stay. Worth doing for any dog who mixes with others at daycare, classes, grooming or busy parks.

## Services
### First consultation
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/first-consultation
A first consultation is a full appointment with one of our vets, for a pet we have not met before or for a problem that is new. We examine your pet from nose to tail, listen to what you have noticed at home, and agree with you what should happen next.
Most things start here. A first consultation gives the vet time to examine your pet properly and to hear the whole story from you – what you have seen, when it started and what has changed. Those two things together are usually what gets to the bottom of a problem.
### What happens in the appointment
- We weigh your pet and check their general condition.
- The vet examines them properly – eyes, ears, mouth, skin, heart, chest, tummy, joints.
- You talk through what you have noticed, and we ask questions to fill in the gaps.
- We explain what we think is going on and what the options are.
- If we need tests or treatment, we tell you what they cost before anything goes ahead.
### What to bring
Any vaccination or medical records you have, a list of anything your pet is currently taking, and – if it is relevant – a recent urine or stool sample. If someone else at home has noticed something you have not, it helps to ask them before you come.
### What it costs
The consultation fee covers the appointment itself and the vet’s advice. Anything we go on to do – tests, medication, a procedure – is charged separately and we will always tell you the cost first. You can see every one of our charges on our [price list](/prices).
If your pet comes in regularly, one of our [pet health plans](/plans) may work out cheaper across the year.
### Repeat consultation
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/repeat-consultation
A repeat consultation is a shorter follow-up for a problem we are already treating. It is the appointment for checking whether treatment is working, adjusting a dose, or taking the next step in a plan we have already agreed.
Once we have seen your pet for a problem, the follow-up appointments are usually repeat consultations. They are shorter than a first consultation because we already know the history – the job now is to see how your pet has responded and decide what happens next.
### When this is the right appointment
- Checking how your pet has got on with a new medication.
- Rechecking a wound, an ear, an eye or a skin problem.
- Reviewing a long-term condition such as arthritis, diabetes or a heart problem.
- Taking the next step in a plan we have already talked through with you.
### When it is not
If your pet has a new and unrelated problem, book a [first consultation](/service/first-consultation) instead – the vet needs the longer appointment to examine them properly and take a fresh history.
### What it costs
Repeat consultations are charged at a lower rate than a first consultation. The current fee is on our [price list](/prices), alongside everything else we charge for.
### Out-of-hours consultation
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/out-of-hours-consultation
An out-of-hours consultation is an emergency appointment outside normal opening times – evenings, overnight, weekends and bank holidays. If you think your pet needs to be seen now, ring us. Do not wait to see how they are in the morning.
Emergencies do not keep office hours. Our Westport24 service means there is always someone to ring, whatever time it is, and someone who can see your pet if they need seeing.
### Ring us straight away if your pet
- Is struggling to breathe, or breathing fast while resting.
- Has collapsed, is unable to stand, or is having a fit.
- Is bleeding and it will not stop.
- Is trying to be sick or to toilet without anything coming – especially a large-breed dog with a swollen, hard tummy, or a male cat straining in the litter tray. Both are emergencies.
- Has eaten something they should not have – chocolate, grapes or raisins, xylitol, antifreeze, rat poison, human medication.
- Has been hit by a car, or had any other significant accident, even if they look fine.
- Is a rabbit or other small pet that has stopped eating or passing droppings. In small pets this becomes serious within hours.
- Is in obvious pain, or is distressed and you cannot settle them.
### What to do
Ring first, before you set off. We can tell you whether your pet needs to come in, what to do in the meantime, and we can be ready for you when you arrive. If you are travelling with an injured animal, keep them warm, quiet and contained.
### What it costs
Out-of-hours consultations cost more than an appointment during normal hours, because of the staffing involved. The fee is published on our [price list](/prices) like everything else, and we will be straight with you about costs on the phone. Please never put off ringing because you are worried about the bill – tell us, and we will talk about it.
### Nurse consultation
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/nurse-consultation
A nurse consultation is an appointment with one of our registered veterinary nurses. Nurses run the practical, hands-on side of care – weight checks, post-operative checks, nail and anal gland work, dressing changes and advice on getting medication into a difficult patient.
Our nurses are qualified, registered professionals, and a lot of care is better done by them than by a vet. Nurse appointments are usually easier to get and cost less than seeing a vet.
### What nurses can help with
- Weight checks and weight-loss support.
- Post-operative checks and suture removal.
- Dressing and bandage changes.
- [Nail clipping](/service/nail-clipping) and [anal gland expression](/service/anal-gland-expression).
- [Microchipping](/service/microchipping).
- Advice on diet, dental care, parasite treatment and giving medication at home.
- Second vaccinations in a course, where the vet has already examined your pet.
### What a nurse cannot do
Nurses cannot diagnose a new problem or prescribe medication – that has to be a vet. If a nurse finds something during your appointment that needs a vet, they will tell you and we will get your pet seen.
### What it costs
Nurse appointments are charged at a lower rate than seeing a vet. The fee is on our [price list](/prices), and several of our [pet health plans](/plans) include nurse appointments or a discount on them.
### Nail clipping
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/nail-clipping
### Anal gland expression
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/anal-gland-expression
### Microchipping
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/microchipping
### Animal health certificate
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/animal-health-certificate
An animal health certificate is the document your pet needs to travel from Great Britain to the EU or Northern Ireland. It has to be issued by an Official Veterinarian within 10 days of travel, and the groundwork – microchip and rabies vaccination – has to be done well before that.
Pet travel paperwork is unforgiving: one missing date and you are turned away at the border. Start planning at least a month before you go, and more if your pet has never been vaccinated against rabies.
### What your pet needs, in order
- **A microchip.** It must be implanted *before* the rabies vaccination, or the vaccination does not count. See [microchipping](/service/microchipping).
- **A rabies vaccination.** Your pet must be at least 12 weeks old, and you must then wait **21 days** from the date of the vaccination before you travel.
- **The certificate itself.** Issued by an Official Veterinarian no more than **10 days** before you arrive in the EU or Northern Ireland.
- **Tapeworm treatment** for dogs, if you are travelling to Finland, Ireland, Malta, Northern Ireland or Norway. It must be given 24 to 120 hours before you arrive and recorded on the certificate.
### How long the certificate lasts
One certificate covers one trip. It is valid for entry to the EU for 10 days from the date of issue, then for onward travel within the EU for 4 months, and for re-entry to Great Britain for 4 months. Come back and go again, and you need a new one.
### Booking the appointment
Book early and bring your pet’s full vaccination history and microchip paperwork. The appointment takes longer than a normal consultation because the certificate has to be completed and checked carefully. One certificate can cover up to five pets travelling together; there is a charge for each additional animal, shown on our [price list](/prices).
Rules change. Check the current requirements for your destination on GOV.UK before you travel, and ring us if anything is unclear.
### Vaccinations primary course (including consultation)
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/vaccinations-primary-course-including-consultation
A primary course is the first set of vaccinations a puppy, kitten or young rabbit needs, given as two or three injections a few weeks apart. The price includes the consultation, so the vet examines your pet properly at each visit.
Vaccination protects against diseases that are still out there and that are genuinely nasty – parvovirus, distemper, cat flu, myxomatosis. A primary course builds that protection from scratch, which is why it takes more than one visit.
### How a primary course works
- **Puppies** usually start at 6 to 8 weeks, with a second injection 2 to 4 weeks later. Protection is not complete until a week or two after the final injection.
- **Kittens** usually start at around 9 weeks, with a second injection 3 weeks later.
- **Rabbits** can be vaccinated from 5 weeks against myxomatosis and both strains of rabbit haemorrhagic disease.
Timings vary with the vaccine used and your pet’s circumstances. The vet will give you the exact dates at the first appointment.
### Each appointment includes a health check
The price covers the consultation as well as the vaccine. For a young animal this is often the most thorough examination they have had – heart, chest, teeth, eyes, joints, weight. It is a good moment to ask about [neutering](/service/castration), diet, worming, insurance and anything else you are wondering about.
### Before full protection
Keep puppies away from places unvaccinated dogs have been until the vet says they are covered. Socialising still matters though – carry them, and let them meet healthy, vaccinated dogs in a safe place. Ask us and we will tell you what is sensible.
### What it costs
The price for a primary course is on our [price list](/prices), shown separately for cats, dogs and rabbits. Our [pet health plans](/plans) include vaccination where it is appropriate, which usually works out cheaper than paying as you go.
### Vaccinations booster (including consultation)
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/vaccinations-booster-including-consultation
A booster keeps your pet’s protection topped up after their primary course. It includes a full health check with the vet, which for a lot of pets is the one time a year someone examines them properly from nose to tail.
Immunity fades. A booster brings it back up, and the annual appointment that goes with it is often where we pick up problems early – a heart murmur, a sore tooth, a lump, a few kilos that have crept on.
### How often
Not every component needs doing every year. Some are given annually, others every three years, and what your pet needs depends on their species, age, health and lifestyle. The vet will set out a schedule that suits your pet rather than a one-size-fits-all one.
### The health check matters as much as the injection
For a healthy adult pet this is frequently their only veterinary examination of the year. We will:
- Weigh them and compare against last time.
- Listen to the heart and chest.
- Check teeth, gums, eyes, ears and skin.
- Feel for lumps and check joints and mobility.
- Talk through diet, parasite treatment and anything you have noticed.
### If the booster is overdue
Ring us. Depending on how long it has lapsed and which vaccine is involved, your pet may need to restart a [primary course](/service/vaccinations-primary-course-including-consultation) rather than a single booster. It is better to know than to assume.
### What it costs
The price is on our [price list](/prices) and includes the consultation. All of our [pet health plans](/plans) that cover preventative care include boosters where they are appropriate.
### Vaccination for kennel cough (including consultation)
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/vaccination-for-kennel-cough-including-consultation
Kennel cough vaccination protects dogs against one of the main causes of the infectious cough that spreads wherever dogs mix. It is given as a liquid squirted into the nose rather than as an injection, and most kennels insist on it.
Kennel cough is miserable rather than usually dangerous – a harsh, hacking cough that sounds like something is stuck in the throat, and that can drag on for weeks. It spreads very easily anywhere dogs gather.
### Which dogs should have it
- Dogs going into boarding kennels or daycare – nearly all require it, usually at least two weeks before the stay.
- Dogs who meet other dogs regularly: training classes, grooming, dog walkers, busy parks.
- Puppies, older dogs, and any dog with a heart or airway condition, who tend to suffer more.
### What happens at the appointment
The vaccine is squirted gently into one nostril. Most dogs find it surprising rather than unpleasant and it is over in seconds. The appointment includes a consultation, so the vet checks your dog over at the same time.
Some dogs cough or sniffle for a few days afterwards, which is normal. Protection builds over a week or two, so book well ahead of a kennel stay rather than the day before.
### What it does not cover
Kennel cough is caused by several different organisms. The vaccine covers the main ones, so a vaccinated dog can still pick up a milder version. It is still well worth doing, and it is usually a condition of boarding.
### What it costs
The price, including the consultation, is on our [price list](/prices). Our [pet health plans](/plans) include kennel cough vaccination for dogs where it is appropriate.
### Prescription fee
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/prescription-fee
A prescription fee covers writing a prescription so you can buy your pet’s medication somewhere else, usually an online pharmacy. You are entitled to ask for one, and for some long-term medications it can save you money.
If we prescribe something for your pet, you do not have to buy it from us. You can ask for a written prescription and take it to any registered pharmacy or online veterinary pharmacy. We will tell you our price for dispensing it ourselves as well, so you can compare.
### What the fee covers
Writing a prescription is a clinical act, not paperwork. The vet has to be satisfied the medicine is right for your pet, at the right dose, with no interaction with anything else they are on, and they carry the professional and legal responsibility for that. The fee covers that time and responsibility.
### When a prescription makes sense
- Long-term medication for a stable condition, where the saving outweighs the fee.
- Large quantities, where the per-unit price elsewhere is lower.
For a short course or a small quantity, the fee often costs more than you would save. Ask us and we will be straight with you about which way round it is for your pet.
### Things worth knowing
- Your pet must have been examined recently enough for the vet to prescribe responsibly. For ongoing medication that normally means a check every 3 to 6 months.
- Prescriptions have an expiry date and a limit on repeats.
- Prescribing stays the vet’s professional judgement. We cannot write one if it would not be right for your pet.
### What it costs
The fee is on our [price list](/prices), along with the [repeat prescription fee](/service/prescription-fee-repeat) and the [dispensing fee](/service/dispensing-fee) if you would rather we supplied the medication.
### Prescription fee for additional items prescribed at the same time as another medication
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/prescription-fee-for-additional-items-prescribed-at-the-same-time-as-another-medication
This is the reduced fee for each additional item prescribed at the same time as another medication. If your pet needs two or three things written up in one go, only the first is charged at the full rate.
Pets on long-term treatment often need more than one medicine. Charging the full prescription fee for every item would not be fair when the vet is reviewing everything in one sitting, so additional items prescribed at the same time are charged at a lower rate.
### How it works
- The first item is charged at the standard [prescription fee](/service/prescription-fee).
- Each further item written at the same time is charged at this reduced rate.
- Come back a fortnight later for another item and it is a separate prescription at the full rate – so it is worth telling us everything you need while you are here.
### Making it easier
If your pet is on several medications, ring a few days before you run out and tell us everything at once. It is cheaper for you, and it gives the vet a proper view of what your pet is taking.
### What it costs
Both the standard fee and this reduced additional-item fee are published on our [price list](/prices).
### Prescription fee (repeat)
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/prescription-fee-repeat
A repeat prescription fee covers re-issuing medication your pet is already established on. It still needs a vet to check the notes and confirm the medicine, dose and quantity remain right before it is signed.
Repeats are for medication your pet is stable on and that we have prescribed before. They are not automatic: a vet reviews the record each time before signing.
### How to request one
- Ring or ask at reception, giving your pet’s name, the medication and the strength.
- Allow a couple of working days. If we have to order something in, allow longer.
- Request it before you run out, not after. Stopping some medications suddenly is genuinely dangerous.
### Why we need to see your pet periodically
We cannot keep repeating a medication indefinitely without seeing your pet. For most long-term treatments that means a check every 3 to 6 months, sometimes with blood tests. It is how we catch side effects, confirm the dose is still right, and pick up changes in the condition. If a repeat is refused until your pet is seen, that is why.
### What it costs
The repeat fee is on our [price list](/prices), as is the [dispensing fee](/service/dispensing-fee) where we supply the medication ourselves. Some of our [pet health plans](/plans) discount prescription medication.
### Dispensing fee
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/dispensing-fee
A dispensing fee covers supplying medication directly from our pharmacy – checking the prescription, counting out and labelling the right quantity, and going through how to give it. It is charged when we supply the medicine rather than writing a prescription for elsewhere.
When we dispense medication ourselves you leave with it in your hand, correctly labelled, having had a chance to ask how to give it. The dispensing fee covers that work.
### What you get
- The medication checked against the prescription and your pet’s record.
- The right quantity measured, counted or split, and labelled with your pet’s name, the dose and the instructions.
- A proper explanation of how and when to give it, what to watch for, and what to do if a dose is missed.
- Someone to ring if it is not going well at home.
### Dispensing or prescription?
You can always choose. For short courses and small quantities, dispensing here is usually cheaper and quicker. For long-term medication in larger quantities a [written prescription](/service/prescription-fee) may cost less overall. Both prices are published, so you can compare before you decide.
### If giving medication is a battle
Tell us. Tablets can sometimes be swapped for a liquid, a flavoured version or a long-acting injection, and our nurses can show you techniques that genuinely help. A medicine that stays in the packet does your pet no good at all.
### What it costs
The dispensing fee is on our [price list](/prices).
### Medicine administration fee - injections under the skin or into the muscle
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/medicine-administration-fee-injections-under-the-skin-or-into-the-muscle
This is the fee for giving an injection under the skin or into the muscle – the administration itself, separate from the cost of the medicine. It covers the nurse or vet calculating the dose, giving it safely and checking your pet afterwards.
Some medications work better, or only work, as an injection: long-acting pain relief and anti-inflammatories, some antibiotics, anti-sickness drugs, and treatments for pets who simply will not take tablets.
### What the fee covers
- Checking the drug, the dose and your pet’s weight and record.
- Drawing up and giving the injection safely, under the skin or into the muscle.
- Watching your pet for any immediate reaction before they go home.
- Safe disposal of needles and syringes.
The medication itself is charged separately, because the cost depends entirely on the drug and your pet’s size.
### Why an injection instead of tablets
- It works faster, which matters for pain or sickness.
- It is certain – the full dose goes in, rather than being spat out behind the sofa.
- Some drugs are only made as injections, or last weeks in injectable form.
- It avoids a daily struggle for pets who find tablets distressing.
### Injections at home
If your pet needs regular injections long term – insulin, for example – our nurses will teach you to give them yourself and make sure you are confident before you go. Plenty of owners who were certain they could never do it manage perfectly well.
### What it costs
The administration fee is on our [price list](/prices). The cost of the medication is quoted separately before it is given.
### Insurance administration fees
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/insurance-administration-fees
### Dental assessment (initial examination of mouth, scale and polish)
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/dental-assessment-initial-examination-of-mouth-scale-and-polish
A dental assessment is a proper examination of your pet’s mouth under anaesthetic, with a scale and polish. Dental disease is the most common thing we find in adult pets, and it is painful long before most owners notice anything wrong.
You cannot assess a mouth properly in a conscious animal. Pets will not let you examine the back teeth, the inside surfaces or below the gum line – and that is exactly where the problems are. So this is done under general anaesthetic.
### Why it matters
By three years old, most dogs and cats have some degree of dental disease. It hurts, but pets hide it well: they go on eating because they have to. The usual signs are bad breath, chewing on one side, dropping food, pawing at the mouth, or simply being quieter and grumpier than they used to be. Owners very often tell us afterwards that their pet has come back to life.
Left alone, dental disease causes abscesses, bone loss and tooth loss, and the ongoing infection puts a load on the heart, liver and kidneys.
### What happens on the day
- Your pet comes in starved from the night before – we will tell you exactly when to stop food. Rabbits and small pets are different and must *not* be starved.
- The vet examines them and checks they are well enough for anaesthetic.
- Under anaesthetic, every tooth is examined and charted, and we probe below the gum line.
- Tartar is removed with an ultrasonic scaler, above and below the gum.
- The teeth are polished smooth, which slows tartar coming back.
- We ring you if we find anything that needs more than a scale and polish.
### If teeth need removing
We cannot always tell before your pet is asleep. Extractions, and any x-rays needed to assess the roots, are charged separately – so we ring you during the procedure, tell you what we have found and what it will cost, and you decide. We will not go ahead with extra work without speaking to you.
### What is included in the price
Before anything goes ahead you get a written estimate that says plainly, for each of the following, whether it is included in the quoted price or charged separately:
- The pre-operative examination on the day.
- A [pre-anaesthetic blood test](/service/pre-surgicalpre-anaesthetic-blood-test).
- Intravenous fluids during the procedure.
- Pain relief given during the procedure.
- Pain relief to take home afterwards.
- Post-operative check-up appointments.
- A protective collar or body suit to stop your pet interfering with the wound.
If anything unexpected comes up during the procedure, we ring you before going any further.
### Afterwards
Most pets go home the same day, a bit woozy. Soft food for a few days if teeth have come out. The best way to delay the next one is daily brushing – our nurses will show you how, and it is easier than it sounds if you build up slowly.
### What it costs
The price for a dental assessment with a scale and polish is on our [price list](/prices), shown separately for cats, dogs and rabbits. Extractions and dental x-rays are extra and quoted at the time. Some [pet health plans](/plans) include a discount on dental work.
### Castration
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/castration
Castration is the surgical removal of the testicles, done under general anaesthetic. It prevents unwanted litters, removes the risk of testicular cancer, and settles some hormone-driven behaviour such as roaming and marking.
Castration is a routine operation that we do very regularly, but it is still surgery under general anaesthetic and deserves a proper conversation first.
### What it does and does not change
- It prevents unwanted litters – definitively.
- It removes the risk of testicular cancer and reduces some prostate problems.
- It usually reduces roaming, urine marking and some male-to-male aggression.
- In cats it dramatically cuts fighting, spraying and the injuries and infections that come with wandering.
- It does *not* fix fear-based or learned behaviour. If the problem is anxiety, castration will not solve it and can occasionally make it worse. Talk to us first.
- Appetite often increases afterwards, so food usually needs adjusting to avoid weight gain.
### When to do it
Timing depends on species, breed and size – and for larger dogs there is a real argument for waiting until they are more mature. There is no single right answer, and we would rather discuss your pet than quote a blanket age.
### What happens on the day
Your pet comes in starved from the night before, has a pre-operative check, goes home the same day. Cats are usually back to normal within a day or two; dogs need rest and lead-only walks for a week or so, and a check-up afterwards.
### What is included in the price
Before anything goes ahead you get a written estimate that says plainly, for each of the following, whether it is included in the quoted price or charged separately:
- The pre-operative examination on the day.
- A [pre-anaesthetic blood test](/service/pre-surgicalpre-anaesthetic-blood-test).
- Intravenous fluids during the procedure.
- Pain relief given during the procedure.
- Pain relief to take home afterwards.
- Post-operative check-up appointments.
- A protective collar or body suit to stop your pet interfering with the wound.
If anything unexpected comes up during the procedure, we ring you before going any further.
### What it costs
The price is on our [price list](/prices), by species and – for dogs – by weight, because the dose of anaesthetic and the time involved both depend on size. If you are weighing this up alongside [spaying](/service/spay-traditionalopen) for another pet, both are published in full.
### Spay (traditional/open)
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/spay-traditionalopen
A traditional spay removes the ovaries, and usually the uterus, through an incision in the abdomen under general anaesthetic. It prevents litters and seasons, and removes the risk of pyometra – a womb infection that is common, expensive and can be fatal.
This is the conventional, long-established way of spaying. It is a bigger operation than castration, and we take it seriously, but it is one of the most worthwhile things you can do for a female pet.
### Why spay
- No unwanted litters, and no seasons – no bleeding, no mess, no male dogs camped outside.
- It removes the risk of pyometra, a womb infection that affects a substantial proportion of unspayed older bitches and needs emergency surgery.
- Spaying before or between early seasons substantially reduces the risk of mammary tumours.
- In cats it prevents repeated pregnancies and calling, and the risks that go with roaming.
### Timing
We usually avoid operating during or immediately after a season, when the tissues are more vascular. The best age depends on species, breed and size, and for large-breed dogs there is a genuine trade-off worth discussing. Ask us about your pet rather than going on a number.
### What happens on the day
Starved from the night before, pre-operative check, surgery, and home the same day in most cases. Expect roughly 10 to 14 days of restricted exercise, something to stop her licking the wound, and a post-operative check.
### What is included in the price
Before anything goes ahead you get a written estimate that says plainly, for each of the following, whether it is included in the quoted price or charged separately:
- The pre-operative examination on the day.
- A [pre-anaesthetic blood test](/service/pre-surgicalpre-anaesthetic-blood-test).
- Intravenous fluids during the procedure.
- Pain relief given during the procedure.
- Pain relief to take home afterwards.
- Post-operative check-up appointments.
- A protective collar or body suit to stop your pet interfering with the wound.
If anything unexpected comes up during the procedure, we ring you before going any further.
### The keyhole alternative
For dogs we also offer [keyhole spaying](/service/spay-laparoscopickeyhole), which uses much smaller incisions and generally means a quicker, more comfortable recovery. It costs more. Both prices are published so you can weigh it up properly.
### What it costs
On our [price list](/prices), by species and by weight for dogs.
### Spay (laparoscopic/keyhole)
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/spay-laparoscopickeyhole
A keyhole spay removes the ovaries through two or three small incisions using a camera and specialised instruments, instead of one larger abdominal incision. Recovery is generally quicker and more comfortable. It is offered for dogs.
Laparoscopic – keyhole – spaying does the same job as a traditional spay but through much smaller openings, with the surgeon working from a magnified camera view.
### The advantages
- Small incisions instead of one larger one, so less tissue trauma.
- Generally less post-operative pain and a quicker return to normal.
- The ovarian blood vessels are sealed under direct magnified vision, which is particularly reassuring in deep-chested and larger breeds.
- A shorter period of restricted exercise for most dogs.
### Things to weigh up
- It costs more than a [traditional spay](/service/spay-traditionalopen), because of the equipment and training involved.
- It usually removes the ovaries only, leaving the uterus. That still prevents seasons, pregnancy and the common form of pyometra.
- It is not right for every dog. Occasionally we need to convert to a traditional approach during surgery, and we will have explained that possibility beforehand.
- It is offered for dogs. For cats and rabbits, a traditional spay is the appropriate operation.
### What happens on the day
Starved from the night before, pre-operative check, surgery, home the same day in most cases. Rest and lead-only walks still apply, usually for a shorter period than after a traditional spay. The vet will give you specific instructions for your dog.
### What is included in the price
Before anything goes ahead you get a written estimate that says plainly, for each of the following, whether it is included in the quoted price or charged separately:
- The pre-operative examination on the day.
- A [pre-anaesthetic blood test](/service/pre-surgicalpre-anaesthetic-blood-test).
- Intravenous fluids during the procedure.
- Pain relief given during the procedure.
- Pain relief to take home afterwards.
- Post-operative check-up appointments.
- A protective collar or body suit to stop your pet interfering with the wound.
If anything unexpected comes up during the procedure, we ring you before going any further.
### What it costs
Published on our [price list](/prices) by weight band, alongside the traditional spay, so you can compare the two directly and decide what is right for your dog and your budget.

Putting your pet to sleep is the hardest decision you will make for them, and the kindest thing we can offer when their quality of life has gone. We will give you the time, the honesty and the quiet you need, and we will talk it through with you before anything happens.
Please do not feel you have to be certain before you ring us. Many people come in simply to ask whether it is time, and go home again. That conversation is worth having early, when it is not an emergency.
### How do you know when it is time?
There is rarely a single moment. It usually helps to think about the ordinary things rather than the medical ones:
- Are they still eating and drinking with any interest?
- Can they get up, get outside, get comfortable?
- Are they still doing the things that made them *them* – the greeting at the door, the spot in the sun, the wag?
- Are the bad days now outnumbering the good ones?
- Is pain or distress being managed, or are we only just keeping ahead of it?
A vet can help you look at this honestly. We will tell you what we think, including if we think there is still good time left.
### What happens
We will book a quiet appointment, usually at a less busy time, and you can wait somewhere private rather than in the waiting room. You are welcome to stay, and most people do – but if you cannot, that is not a failure, and we will be with them.
A small catheter is usually placed in a front leg first. The injection is an overdose of anaesthetic: your pet becomes deeply unconscious within seconds and the heart stops shortly after. It is painless. We often give a sedative beforehand so they are relaxed and sleepy before anything else happens – ask for this if you would like it.
Afterwards their eyes may stay open, they may take a last breath or twitch, and the bladder may empty. These are reflexes, not distress. We will explain as we go and you can take as long as you need with them.
### Things to think about beforehand
- Whether you would like it done at home instead. Ring us to ask – it is not always possible but it is often worth asking.
- Who will come with you, and who will drive.
- What you would like to happen afterwards: taking them home to bury, [communal cremation](/service/cremation-communal), or [individual cremation](/service/cremation-individual) with their ashes returned.
- Whether you would like a paw print or a lock of fur.
- Other pets in the house often settle better if they are allowed to see the body.
Deciding these things in advance means you do not have to make them while you are upset.
### What it costs
The fee is published on our [price list](/prices), by species and by weight for dogs. Cremation is charged separately and those prices are published too. We know this is a difficult thing to be thinking about alongside everything else, which is exactly why we publish it – so there are no surprises on the day. If cost is a worry, please tell us and we will talk about it.
### Cremation: communal
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/cremation-communal
With communal cremation your pet is cremated alongside other pets and the ashes are not returned. It is the option most people choose when they would rather remember their pet in another way, and it is the less expensive of the two.
If you do not want ashes back, this is a dignified and straightforward choice. Your pet is collected from us by the pet crematorium, cremated communally, and the ashes are scattered respectfully at the crematorium. Nothing is returned to you.
### Choosing between the options
There is no right answer, and plenty of people find they do not want an urn in the house. Others very much do. Think about what will actually help you in six months’ time, not what you feel you ought to choose.
- **Communal cremation** – no ashes returned, less expensive.
- **[Individual cremation](/service/cremation-individual)** – your pet is cremated on their own and the ashes come back to you.
- **Taking them home** – you are welcome to take your pet home to bury, if you own the ground and can bury them deep enough.
### Keepsakes
Even without ashes, you can usually have a paw print or a clipping of fur taken beforehand. Ask us – people very often wish afterwards that they had.
### Taking your time
You do not have to decide immediately. We can care for your pet while you think it over or talk to the rest of the family. Just tell us you need time.
### What it costs
The price is on our [price list](/prices), by species and by weight for dogs. It is charged separately from [euthanasia](/service/euthanasia), and both are published so you can see the full cost in advance.
### Cremation: individual
URL: https://testing.okanetsolutions.com/service/cremation-individual
With individual cremation your pet is cremated on their own and their ashes are returned to you, usually in a casket or scatter tube. It costs more than communal cremation, and for a lot of people it is worth it.
Your pet is collected from us by the pet crematorium, cremated individually, and their ashes are returned to the practice for you to collect – normally within one to two weeks. We will ring you when they arrive.
### What comes back
- Your pet’s ashes, in a standard casket or scatter tube included in the price.
- A choice of alternative caskets, urns or keepsakes is usually available at additional cost – ask us to see what is on offer.
- A paw print or clipping of fur can usually be taken beforehand if you would like one.
### Choosing between the options
If you think you will want somewhere specific to scatter them – a favourite walk, the garden, the beach they loved – individual cremation is the one to choose. If you would rather remember them another way, [communal cremation](/service/cremation-communal) is perfectly dignified and costs less. Neither choice says anything about how much you loved them.
### Taking your time
You do not have to decide on the day. We can care for your pet while you think about it, and there is no rush to collect the ashes once they are back – they will be kept safely until you are ready.
### What it costs
The price is on our [price list](/prices), by species and by weight for dogs, and includes a standard casket or scatter tube. It is charged separately from [euthanasia](/service/euthanasia). Any upgraded casket or keepsake is quoted at the time, so you are never committed to spending more than you want to.
