What the petition asks
We want the Government to introduce a Regulator for Veterinary Services, with powers to cap charges for medical treatment, and medication for animals. We think vets should be required to display a price list in waiting rooms and online please. Fees vary widely.
We want a Regulator for Veterinary Services. Veterinary fees vary widely. There are sometimes no price lists displayed. We think medical treatment and medicines for animals should be transparent and affordable. We want to see fees capped and a price list displayed in waiting areas and online.
The cost of Veterinary Services, medical treatment and medicines are putting some animal owners off going to the vets and keeping a pet.
