I have been told, don't know if its true, that the BVA board who assess the plates is a board of 3 vets! One if which is apparently at the practice that charge those prices.

Could be true or could be a good marketing gimmick for the unsuspecting!!!!!!! I have no idea. If anyone does, let me know

Hips and elbows last week

£449 for two dogs plus £180 to the BVA

THe cost with my own vet for the plates would have been around £800 for the two dogs.

Don't pick a vet on price, pick them on reputation, experience and quality of plates.

Exactly, I picked based on experience and they have not let me down.

Did you ever find the name of that vet you were recommending in Lancashire? Was it the same one?
