Half Price Visit Fees
Our 'Zone Days', which offer half price visit fees for all routine work, are exceptionally popular. We feel that they are the best way to keep the cost of routine veterinary work down and for us to continue our pledge for sustainability, reducing the vets travel and CO2 emissions. Last year we expanded our Zone Days to offer great value visit fees to more of our clients.
The main practice territory is divided into nine 'zones' (click on the map image to enlarge or download map below) and the half price days are held on alternate Mondays (Zone 3 North) and Fridays (Zone 6 West and Zone 1 East) plus Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (excluding the Christmas period and Bank Holidays). Each of the nine zones are therefore visited once every fortnight.
To help you plan for these days and make the most of the half price visit fees, we now have A4 posters available for every zone we cover. They are now available for the whole of 2024. If you would like a copy of the poster for your area, either download the images on this page or just let the office know and they will send one out to you.
'Zone Day' Terms and Conditions
Payment for all work carried out on our half price visit fee days must be made in advance or at the time of your visit. Payment can be made either by calling the office on 01376 513369 or via our website. If payment cannot be made prior to the time of your visit, Paton and Lee Ltd reserve the right to refuse to carry out any work requested.
Unfortunately we are unable to offer half price visit fees for any areas outside of the marked 'zones'.
Zone Day appointments must be booked at least 48 hours in advance. If you are unable to book your appointment at least 48 hours in advance the office may offer you a full-price visit at another convenient time, or you may have to book onto a subsequent 'zone day'.
Exact times for these half price visits cannot be offered in advance. You will not be able to choose the specific veterinary surgeon you would like to carry out the work, but all of our veterinary surgeons are experienced horse vets and we are an equine-only practice. You will be contacted by telephone the day before your appointment to be advised of your allotted time. If more than one owner is being seen at a single yard, then the half price visit fee will still be divided between the owners as normal, making a further saving.
On some of our busier zone days it is possible that we will be over-subscribed even if you do book your appointment at least 48 hours in advance. On those occasions you may be offered a half price visit fee on an alternate day, usually on the Friday morning after your scheduled zone day.
An interactive google map of all the zones is available HERE.
