Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Make pet owners aware of previous convictions that a vet has for any type of pet insurance fraud, negligence and mall practice

Stronger action to be taken on veterinarians for pet insurance fraud, dishonesty, negligence
If I had known of a vets past I would have NOT put my pet in his care

Unfortunately I have lost my dog and others have reached out to me for the same issue

Vet with previous dishonesty when dealing with animals or using position for financial gain at the cost of heart break of owners should be dismissed permanently not being able to continue to practice in another constituency

RCVS need stricter rules when a vet has committed offence and support pet owners more

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We are sorry to hear about your experience, but petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about rules for veterinarians, but we're not sure if you want the Government to require vets to disclose any relevant criminal convictions to their clients, or to be prevented from working as vets.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
