CMA Investigation Context

In March 2026, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) concluded its investigation into UK vet market competition. Key findings included:

  • Lack of price transparency identified as a major issue
  • Recommendation for mandatory price lists for all practices
  • £21 cap on prescription charges from vets
  • Requirements for greater ownership transparency

Vet Fair's database directly addresses the transparency gap the CMA identified. We provide the data the market needs.
