About VetPriceCheck

VetPriceCheck is building an independent UK price comparison service for veterinary treatments. The CMA's September 2026 Order requires standard price lists from larger businesses by December 2026 and smaller businesses by March 2027. We plan to make those published prices easier for pet owners to compare.

We are not affiliated with any veterinary group, insurer, or practice. We do not accept listings fees or commercial arrangements from practices. Our income will come from consumer-facing premium features, not from the practices we list.
