What pet care services and pricing options does Rowan Vets provide?

Updated

Rowan Vets is an independent veterinary practice in Lancashire with two sites — Hillock Lane near Preston and The Old Bank on Whitegate Drive in Blackpool — offering preventative care, a Pet Health Club, and specialist referral services. Pricing is published on a dedicated "Our Prices" page rather than on the service pages, so you can check costs before registering or booking.

Services available

The practice describes a wide range of services tailored to individual pets, with these areas highlighted on the site:

  • Preventative pet care — advice and treatment aimed at keeping pets healthy rather than treating illness only.
  • Pet Health Club / Pet Health Plan — an ongoing care plan listed in the main navigation, intended for pets needing regular preventative care.
  • Referrals for specialist vet care — including an orthopaedic referral form for pets that need specialist treatment beyond general practice.
  • Species covered — the site lists cats, dogs, rabbits and small mammals, and describes itself as a Cat Friendly Clinic.
  • Free pet care advice — listed as a service, alongside fact sheets in the News & Care section.

The practice also states it is a Fear Free pet care advocate, which is relevant if your pet is stressed by vet visits.

Pricing: where to look

Rowan Vets does not display prices on its homepage or service pages. The site has a dedicated "Our Prices" page, linked from the main menu and footer, which is the place to check current fees. The Pet Health Club is listed separately, so if you are comparing a one-off visit against ongoing plan costs, look at both the prices page and the health plan information.

No pricing figures, payment platforms or free-treatment claims are published in the material available here, so treat any specific cost as something to confirm directly with the practice.

Both sites share the same email address. The Preston site is described as the main practice, so if your pet needs referral work or orthopaedic assessment, it is worth asking which site handles it before you travel.

Who this suits

Rowan Vets is a reasonable fit if you want an independent practice (rather than a corporate chain), value a Cat Friendly and Fear Free approach, and live near Preston or Blackpool. The Pet Health Club is worth asking about if you prefer spreading preventative care costs rather than paying per visit. If you mainly need specialist or orthopaedic care, the referral route and form are already in place.

What to do next

  1. Check the Our Prices page for current fees.
  2. Look at the Pet Health Club page if you want ongoing preventative care.
  3. Register your pet using the online registration link, or call the relevant surgery.
  4. For specialist or orthopaedic needs, ask about the referral process and complete the orthopaedic referral form if applicable.

Emergencies are handled through a separate link on the site, so use that rather than the standard booking route if your pet needs urgent care.
