How do you find a vet in Norway, and what does a visit cost?
Where to look for a vet and example prices for common visits.
Short answer
Clinic chains such as Evidensia and AniCura list their clinics online, and at Evidensia Lambertseter in Oslo a vet appointment of up to 15 minutes costs NOK 1,698. Prices vary between clinics: at Evidensia Oslo Dyresykehus the same appointment costs from NOK 1,898. A dog vaccine or a rabies vaccine costs NOK 998 at Lambertseter.
Why
- Evidensia's website lists its clinics by region, including clinics in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Tromsø, and each clinic has its own price list.
- AniCura's list of emergency clinics includes animal hospitals and clinics in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, Kristiansand and Tromsø, among others.
- Evidensia's prices from April 2026 include VAT: at Lambertseter an appointment of up to 30 minutes costs NOK 2,198, while Oslo Dyresykehus charges from NOK 3,998 for an examination outside ordinary opening hours.
Details
Microchip ID marking costs NOK 1,148 at Evidensia Lambertseter when added to another service, including the fee to the DyreID register. A simple nail trim without sedation costs NOK 498 there. AniCura asks owners to call the clinic before they come in an emergency.
Tip
Before a planned visit, look up the price list of the clinic you will use, since prices differ between clinics even within the same chain.
