Rejected petition Stop Over Inflated Small Animal Veterinary Charges.

Overinflated small animal veterinary fees create a welfare crisis. Many can't afford out-of-hours vet costs, deterring crucial treatment. Animals suffer, untreated or abandoned. We urge action to ensure fair pricing and regulating.

Petition Statement :

We demand an end to exorbitant small animal veterinary fees. I recently paid £300 for a basic consultation at an out-of-hours clinic, where treatment cost half as much. These inflated prices hinder pet owners, leading to potential neglect and abandonment. This is a welfare issue. Let's unite for fair pricing, ensuring access to essential care for all pets.
