Our dog was admitted very quickly and without any problems. The service was very friendly and professional. The doctor thoroughly examined our dog and confirmed the unfortunate diagnosis. She received an injection and, fortunately, survived until the next morning. She underwent surgery this morning and is now recovering. I'm deducting one star for the cost of the consultation and injection. I understand that this is an emergency service after hours, but such high prices are a misconception, as not everyone can afford to save their pets.
EDITED....
Our dog is recovering well after surgery. Thank you for your concern. However, I disagree with the prices of veterinary services in the UK, especially after-hours services. In my opinion, a service performed at 2:00 PM is no different from a service performed at, say, 11:00 PM or 2:00 AM. The medication a dog needs is available at a fixed price, say, £20. So why does administering this medication at 2:00 PM cost £30 and at 2:00 AM cost £70, if it's the same medication? Generally, the prices of veterinary services in the UK are probably the highest in the world, especially after-hours services, and there's no explanation for this. Probably only the desire for a very large and quick profit. Besides the unusual time of day, nothing else influences the cost. And I understand that it may be a bit more expensive, but such high prices compared to other countries are a major misconception.
