An out-of-hours’ surcharge will be charged but fees depend on the level of care that your pet requires. A critically ill patient will obviously require a higher level of monitoring and treatment than a more stable patient, and costs will reflect this. An estimate of cost will be provided on admit, and further bill updates will be discussed on a daily basis. Costly procedures and treatments will not be performed without your consent. Please note that full payment is required at the time of your pet's discharge, or time of treatment if the animal is not admitted.
