I remember taking my dog to the vets for his jab which I paid for and the vet charged me a consultation fee. I asked the receptionist why and they went and enquired and came back and said because I asked what the life cycle of a flea was. I just stood there blinking I honestly thought she was joking. Shop around and ask for their code of practice or code of ethics too if unsure but definitely ask for a breakdown of the costs as you will find they will charge for things like two pairs of rubber sterile gloves @ £5.99, and other items you can choose not to have, like a supplement of 10 grammes taken from a jar of 100grammes and pay for the whole jar.. where another surgery won't.
