Veterinary medicine has, in recent years, become increasingly sophisticated. We are able to diagnose and treat many conditions that a few years ago would have remained undetected with often fatal consequences, especially in the older pet. The down side of these advances is cost. it is not unheard of for treatment of a case to exceed £2,000.
One of the most distressing situations we find ourselves in, is where a pet's problem is curable but the cost is too high for the owner and the animal has to be put to sleep. A less serious situation is when the owner has to opt for the less than best treatment available for the pet due to money constraints.
Under the new FSA regulations, Westhorne Veterinary Surgery is no longer able to advise you on individual pet insurance companies - however we do have a selection of leaflets available for you in pick up at the surgery. if you find it difficult to get to us, please call the us on 0203 417 6433 and we can arrange to have them posted to you.
