The UK needs to change the way sick animals are treated

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

For the Government to look at an NHS like system to lower costs for animals in need of treatment via vets. These costs can run into thousands and more often than not need paying up front.

Aside from this, monthly insurance premiums are costly and not something everyone can afford.
Enact an NHS like system to lower fees for required treatment when it comes to animal care and any associated treatment.

I am asking the UK Government to look into manageable low cost alternatives that is universal to everyone so all animals are not left suffering and to make fee paying manageable to everyone.
