Vets say they are under pressure to bring in more money per pet
In 2013, only 10% of vet practices in the UK were owned by large corporate groups. Now that figure stands at 60%.
Bills for pet owners have risen as corporate ownership has increased - by more than 60% between 2015 and 2023, figures from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) show. This is almost double the rate of inflation or the increase in vet salaries over that time.
