What does the CMA announcement mean for me?
Updated
The CMA’s findings suggest that many pet owners:
May have been paying more than necessary for their pet’s medicines
May have been unaware they could request a written prescription
May have been unsure about who owns or operates their veterinary practice
To address this, the CMA has confirmed several changes designed to give pet owners more clarity and choice, including:
Clearer pricing for veterinary services and prescriptions
Capped prescription fees, so costs are more consistent
Information that medicines may be cheaper elsewhere
Clear ownership information, so you know who runs your practice
These changes aim to give you more confidence and control when managing your pet’s healthcare.
