UK watchdog demands vet price transparency and fee caps to combat rising costs.
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority is urging veterinary clinics to publicly disclose prices and cap prescription fees, citing a seven-year surge in vet costs nearly double inflation.
The probe found corporate-owned clinics charge 16.6% more on average than independents, with some treatments costing thousands, leaving pet owners unaware of expenses until after care.
The watchdog recommends mandatory price transparency, clearer corporate ownership labeling, and a new comparison website, criticizing the outdated 1966 regulatory system that doesn’t cover business owners.
The proposals, part of 21 measures, aim to improve fairness and consumer choice, with feedback invited before a final decision next year.
