Pricing
A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit below average, but this is based on very few comparable services. Review comments on cost are mixed but lean positive: one owner described a rat neuter as a fair price, while one dissatisfied reviewer felt a £40 review appointment represented poor value.
