For hospitalisation beyond the 72 hours included in the fixed price, standard hospitalisation fees will be applied.
Should the patient require the input of multiple services due to concurrent conditions (e.g. diabetes, heart disease etc), be considered high-risk for anaesthesia or need critical care, additional fees will be payable to reflect the additional specialist care they have required. Should any treatment be needed which sits outside the package price, its need and costings will be fully discussed with you, provided it is not given in a life threatening emergency.
Internal Medicine
Within internal medicine, we see a wide range of complex and over lapping conditions. We tailor investigations to each patient, deeming this a crucial step to finding the correct diagnosis. We consider the unique medical history, symptoms and environment of our patients, allowing for a personalised approach. This ensures our patients do not have unnecessary tests, avoiding a ‘one-size-fits-all’, which often is inappropriate for our feline and canine medicine patients. However, we recognise that with diagnostics can come financial burden and worry, and a degree of predictable costing can provide some reassurance to owners. As a clinical team it also allows us to maximise our diagnostics, by offering affordable packages for specific tests. We offer various procedural packages that can be used as part of your first consultation, or later during our staged approach to diagnosis.
| Bone Marrow Aspirate | What is included? | |
| There are various causes of anaemia, and the diagnostic pathway involves initially excluding conditions that originate outside of the bone marrow (i.e in the body), for example, chronic kidney disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Some cats and dogs have a primary bone marrow disease, and these patients can require testing of their bone marrow. This can become necessary after we have performed the initial investigations. | £1,500 | This package includes both the procedural and laboratory fees, including bone marrow aspirate, bone marrow core biopsy and comparative haematology blood test. The price is inclusive of hospitalisation and operating theatre fees, but not anaesthesia or consultations. |
| Lower respiratory investigation | What is included? | |
| A lower airway investigation can be indicated for coughing cats or dogs, and generally involves imaging (radiography or CT scan), bronchoscopy (camera study to assess the dynamic function of the airways), sampling of the airways (bronchoalveolar lavage) to examine for abnormal cell changes (cytology) and infectious diseases (PCR testing, cultures). | £3,500 | This package includes the initial consultation, CT scan, bronchoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage as well as procedural and laboratory fees to analyse the samples retrieved. The price is inclusive of hospitalisation and the first 30 minutes of sedation or anaesthesia, dictated by your pets needs and our anaesthesia team’s advice. |
| Upper respiratory investigation | What is included? | |
| An upper airway investigation can be indicated for cats or dogs with nasal or nasopharyngeal disease, and generally involves imaging (radiography or CT scan), rhinoscopy (camera study to assess the appearance of the nasal cavity and dynamic function of the nasopharynx), sampling of the nose (biopsies and/or swabs) to examine for abnormal cell changes (histopathology) and infectious diseases (PCR testing, cultures). | £4,000 | This package includes the initial consultation, CT scan and rhinoscopy (fixed and/or rigid as needed), nasal biopsies as well as procedural and laboratory fees to analyse the samples retrieved. The price is inclusive of hospitalisation and the first 30 minutes of sedation or anaesthesia, dictated by your pets needs and our anaesthesia team’s advice. |
| Nasal fungal infusion for aspergillosis | What is included? | |
| Nasal aspergillosis requires physical debridement of the nasal plaques in your dog or cats’ nose, this requires anaesthesia, endoscopy (rhinoscopy, disposable endoscopy) and specialised equipment. There is often a need to enter the sinus using trephination, to allow full access to the infection. | £2,000 | This package includes hospitalisation, anaesthesia, rhinoscopy (fixed and/or rigid as needed), debridement of fungal plaques, trephination of the sinuses and anti-fungal medications (both solution and creams). This price does not include consultation fees. |
| Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy | What is included? | |
| Some of our patients with gastrointestinal disease will need endoscopic examination and biopsies of their stomach and small intestines. As most patients respond positively to diet trials, this step is not always necessary. This procedure is generally performed on patients that have had gastrointestinal imaging and the next step in our investigations is to biopsy the bowel. It is typically an outpatient procedure. | £1,900 | This package includes anaesthesia, hospitalisation, endoscopy (gastrointestinal), endoscopic biopsies as well as laboratory fees (histopathology). This price does not include consultation fees. |
| Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy (colonoscopy) | What is included? | |
| Some of our patients with gastrointestinal disease will need endoscopic examination and biopsies of their stomach, small intestine and their colon. As most patients respond positively to diet trials, this step is not always necessary. This procedure is generally performed on patients that have had gastrointestinal imaging and the next step in our investigations is to biopsy the upper and lower bowel. It is typically an outpatient procedure, sometimes we need to prepare the bowel the day prior. | £3,200 | This package includes anaesthesia, hospitalisation, both upper and lower endoscopy (upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy), endoscopic biopsies as well as laboratory fees (histopathology). This price does not include consultation fees. |
Terms and Conditions

Hospitalisation and/or overnight treatment if required, will be charged additionally as appropriate. The cost for such services would be estimated separately and agreed upon with the patient's owner before proceeding.

All Fixed Price Packages include the surgery required to treat a single, commonly diagnosed clinical condition. Should the clinical condition be more complex (e.g., cruciate disease and concurrent medial patella luxation), or should the patient have medical co-morbidities (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, hypothyroidism, etc) a supplemental charge may be applied.
Should CT or MRI be needed these are priced in addition to the package price.
Should the patient be considered high-risk for anaesthesia or require critical care, additional fees will be payable. Complications can happen with any surgical procedure, and any treatment outside of the package price is chargeable and will be fully discussed with you should this become necessary.
