The OP doesn't want our thoughts or doesn't like them enough to log on and reply.

Just to add that my vets who are a vets4pets but not in a pah store, are open 24/7 365 days a year same price and same staff
They just have night shift and day shifts.
I know my vets was one of the first to trial this two years ago but there's more now so for anyone in future looking for a 24/7 service I would check out your local vets4pets

I do know some are very good like mine and some are not so good but it's down to who runs it
Mine is separate entity from pah and has an owner under vets4pets franchise but it's 100% a vets4pets

One of my rescue rabbits went in last night for overnight spay. Drop off at convenient evening time and pick up whenever next day or evening
It's fabulous service and price is similar to other vets round here!

Regarding OP I think I would be bit miffed too. Maybe ask to set up a payment plan as you wasn't aware at the time of this additional cost
You paid what you were told too so I think they need to give you leeway here tbh.

That's quite cheap for keeping overnight. Ours was £140 ish just to walk in the door last we used it, any treatment, tests or being kept in on top of that. I wouldn't have been shocked at that plus another few hundred for tests and overnight care.

You used the service, so you can't argue the fee is unfair just because it has been billed in two parts. It would only be unfair if you asked the costs upfront and they told you a different amount to how much they asked for afterwards for the same treatment.

Most vets are pretty good at giving your estimates and options for budgets if you ask.
