We charge £12 per day for hospitalisation with a £21 intensive care nursing charge for anybody requiring a lot of nursing time (critical patients, gut stasis rabbits needing feeding etc). We charge scale and polishes according to being a large/medium/small dog or cat, GA time on top of this, and extractions are charged by group if simple (1 tooth, 2-4 teeth, 5-7 teeth, 7+) or individually per tooth if complicated :)

Hospitalisation is £60 per day dogs, £48 cats. I think there are higher charges if it's intensive care. If something comes in for half a day, or waits in between a BAST or something, then usually we charge half.

Dentals - we have three 'tiers' of dental - complex extractions (which includes antibiotics, full mouth radiographs), simple extractions, just a scale/polish/dental examination. Each of these has a set price for each body weight band, so we can estimate a ballpark price to clients (inclusive of GA, hospitalisation, etc).

We always emphasise that you can't judge what needs doing before the animal is under GA, and within those sometimes extras might be added (local anaesthetic, suture material, pre op bloods).
