Regulate Fair Pricing and Transparency in Vet Care and Pet Insurance

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to introduce fair pricing and transparency rules for vet practices and pet insurers. This should include standardised vet prices, equal charges for insured and uninsured customers, and regulated pet insurance options with clearer policies, no-claims rewards and protection.

Pet owners face inconsistent vet fees, unclear insurance terms and higher charges if uninsured. Many can’t afford urgent care, especially those on low incomes, Universal Credit or disability benefits. We want clearer pricing, fair treatment and insurance that works like car cover, with custom excess, tailored add-ons and protected no-claims. A regulated no-claims reward system, 0% payment plans for uninsured owners and clearer vet communication would offer real support.

Why it was rejected

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, including what you mean by equal charges for insured and uninsured customers.

The terms of insurance are a matter for insurance companies.
