About VetPriceCheck

VetPriceCheck is an independent UK price comparison service for veterinary treatments, launching in late 2026. We are building around the CMA's mandatory price transparency reforms, which require all UK vet practices to publish standardised pricing from September 2026.

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.
