How much do you all pay for Flu and Tet jabs?? My boy was done on the weekend rang up to pay it and it was nearing £90!! I nearly passed out when the receptionist told me... I swear this was rather expensive

Yup sounds about right! Your call out plus about £60 for the jab itself. Vets are making an absolutel fortune at the moment ...

Being at the weekend, did you have to pay an OOH callout fee? That would bump it up.
ETA. In Jan, I paid the standard weekday callout fee of £48.06 plus £30.30 for a single jab of Equilis Prequenza TE (flu/tet) so £79.36.

I paid about £45 for the healthcheck plus jabs this winter, but that was on a free callout scheme. If you had to pay for a normal callout on top of the vaccinations, then I guess that could take you up to £90.
Thing that bugs me is that this vet insists on sedating for teeth (mine has been done without sedation for over 10 years), and that brought the total bill for the annual health check over £200. I can sort of see the vet's argument for wanting to sedate (to protect themselves from injury, do a more thorough job), but the cost difference is a big one.

Does that include call out?
I had both of mines flu and tet done for £74.. call out was free as he was on his way home and he lives local. It would of had a additional £48 on top if I paid call out on top.
You're local to me, B&W vets? If so thats about right, £38 for the flu and tet jabs, plus £48 call out you're looking at around £86.

I'm not sure... they're open till 12:30 on Saturdays so it was still in consulting hours I believe!!

Nope not B&W!! I did use them for the 5 stage vetting of my horse though and that was a bomb itself!! They're only based about 3/4 miles from me as well the vets I used!!

They've charged you a call out which is why it seems pricey, I always make sure I say can he call in on his way home to avoid the call out and they work it out around that or I use a zone day.
Once you get to know a vet at B&W they've very helpful and have done everything possible to keep the bill down for me with a sick uninsured horse, they're good vets

Yep, mine was £83.
Can't make use of the zone days due to work, so just have to pay the whole thing. Did make me laugh that she spent more time hugging the Shetland then jabbing him. I should have charged her for cuddles!

Approx £25 cost. Been an expensive year getting the oldies back up to speed!

Probably a very, very small fraction of what they charge us!

£32.50 per horse with free call out on a zone day. I think I'd pass out paying £90 too

Vaccination £28, call out is just under £40 if I can't share it.

Always use free Zone call out day, can't remember exact price but no more than £40 each (think in reality it's less).

My last one was £60 shared visit would have been £80 otherwise. No zone visits by my vets.

I didn't see your post earlier. So £25 to buy in. My vet charges £39 per vacc. That is more than a 50% mark up.
They tried to charge me £75 a bottle for penecilin the other year and quickly got told where to stick it considering I could get it online for £10 a bottle with a further £10 prescription fee!

Whereas mine appears to only be making £3 per injection. The call out charge is fixed whatever they come out for and split if it's more than one client. I once paid an 1/8th of a call out on a big livery yard.

Mine were £25 callout plus £35 per horse for flu and tet boosters. No such thing as free/reduced callout times/zones/days here, sadly!
