Rejected petition Lower vet charges
Lower vet charges, its disgusting what vets are allowed to charge, if you dont pay what they want they refuse to treat your animal, this is a disgrace and should be made illegal,
More details
I was recently charged £190 to wrap a bandage around my dogs foot as he snapped a claw and it was bleeding really badly, I was told if I didnt pay £149 just for them to see him they would not treat him just leave him to bleed, this is an absolute disgrace and should be changed, if it was a human you would be jailed
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Veterinary fees are set by vets themselves, not the Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling for a clear action that is the responsibility of the Government or Parliament, for example calling for a review a vets fees or for legislation to cap certain types of vets fees.
There's already a petition about vets prescription fees, which you might like to sign:
