Educational purpose of the Clinics
The initial goal of the Clinics is to offer the best possible care for the animals and to train its students. The animals are examined by the students under supervision and attendance of the medical staff of the Clinics. For this reason, we ask for your understanding when the time needed at the Clinics for the examination of your animal is bigger than usually expected at a private clinic.

Service Cost
The total appointment cost for an animal that is examined and treated at the Clinics of The School of Veterinary Medicine is approximate to the cost at a private clinic. Depending on the nature of the medical issue, the cost includes the clinical examination, the diagnostic exams, the possibility of surgery, medications, materials and nutrition during examination, treatment and hospitalization.
The visitor is given an estimated cost by the vet staff before any exam or treatment may be applied. The animal owners should understand that it is not always possible to determine the exact cost before any exam takes place. In the case that the animal should be hospitalized, a payment in advance is required, depending on the total estimated cost. The owners are also updated in case the actual cost exceeds the initial estimation during hospitalization.
