Somerset vet prices sit close to the national average. Bath, with its affluent population, has noticeably higher prices than the county norm, while Taunton, Yeovil, and the more rural areas offer better value for pet owners seeking affordable veterinary care.

The UK national average vet consultation costs around 62. The CMA veterinary investigation found that vet prices have risen 63% between 2016 and 2023 across the UK, and that corporate groups charge 17% more than independents on average. Their 21 proposed reforms include mandatory price publication, a 16 prescription fee cap, written estimates for treatments over 500, and mandatory disclosure of corporate ownership.
