In March 2026, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) concluded its investigation into UK vet market prices. They identified lack of transparency as a key issue and recommended mandatory price lists for all practices, a £21 cap on prescription charges, and greater ownership transparency.

Vet Fair exists to solve exactly the problem the CMA highlighted: lack of price transparency. Learn more about the CMA decision →

Prices may vary based on your pet's age, weight, health status, and other factors, so use Vet Fair as a starting point for comparison, not as a guarantee.
