"The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) stated that public satisfaction with the cost of services was low after a two-and-a-half-year investigation that found there is not strong competition between veterinary businesses."
"Vets must now inform pet owners that medicines may be cheaper online, and let them know they can get a prescription which could save them money."
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority has mandated that veterinary practices limit prescription fees to £21. Following a lengthy investigation, it was revealed that competition among veterinary services is weak, leading to low public satisfaction regarding costs. Vets are now required to inform pet owners that medications may be available at lower prices online and that they can obtain prescriptions to save money. The CMA aims to enhance transparency and affordability in veterinary care.
