Rejected petition Regulate the price of vet charges, putting limitations where needed
Rejected on
Vets should not get away with the charges they make and how quick the price can change. Charges should be more regulated and a cap should be put on when needed. Also charges should be a more reasonable rate so animals do not suffer.
Regulations need to be put into place to stop vets charging extortionate amounts for their own greed and not of any benefit to the animal. Animals are suffering because not everyone can afford the charges they are making. There should be limitations where necessary to stop charges that don't adequately fit the treatment. The price of treatment can consistently change in a short space of time and should not be allowed.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The prices charged for veterinary services is a matter for individual veterinarians and vet surgeries as autonomous businesses, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If there is an action you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take, for which they are directly responsible, you could start a petition about that.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
