Rejected petition Stop the veterinary groups charging extortionate fees.

I want the government to look at what these groups are charging for consultation, medication and general procedures.

More details

The fees that are charged for looking after unwell animals are ridiculously expensive. There are family pets suffering as pet owners are worried they can’t afford to take their pets to be seen by a vet. The mark up price of medication is unbelievably high. It’s greed and the practice groups are only looking at profit.
