Petition Action

Regulate and reform veterinary care

Petition Details

We call on the UK Government to establish regulatory oversight of veterinary care. This should include written treatment plans, itemised bills, consent safeguards, and accountability for corporate-owned practices which we believe profit from distress.

Additional Information

The CMA’s 2025 report highlights some widespread issues.

We believe we need urgent reform to protect families and pets, as we are concerned that families face potential financial coercion, missing records, and preventable deaths
