Are your vet bills too high?

In 2013 just 10% of veterinary practices in the UK were run by large corporations. Today it's 60%.

Using an independent practice / charity, rather than a large corporate group, will keep money in the business and the local economy and not go to big corporate shareholders mostly foreign-based.

On this website independent veterinary practices are searchable on a map or in a table.

Use the map to zoom in on a particular area or use the table search facility to find practices by name, postal town or postcode.

To see which groups are excluded go to The Corporates.

We recognise that all practices need to make a profit but independent practices are more lifelong career businesses than opportunities for short-term financial gain. With large corporates it can be argued that the reverse is the case.

The recent review by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) highlights multiple concerns in the market, including:

Consumers may not be given enough information to enable them to choose the best veterinary practice or the right treatment for their needs.
Concentrated local markets, in part driven by sector consolidation, may be leading to weak competition in some areas.
Large corporate groups may have incentives to act in ways which reduce choice and weaken competition.
Pet owners might be overpaying for medicines or prescriptions.
The regulatory framework is outdated and may no longer be fit for purpose.

Choose an independent veterinary practice that puts pets before plethoric profits.
