Why Vet Ownership Matters

Around 60% of UK veterinary practices are now owned by large corporate groups. We believe you should know who owns your vet.

Independent Practices

Locally owned practices where decisions are made by vets, not corporate boards. Often more flexibility on pricing and treatment options.

Corporate Groups

Owned by large companies, often backed by private equity. May have standardised pricing and policies set by head office.

Non-Profit / Charity

Charitable organisations like PDSA and Blue Cross providing care for those who can't afford private veterinary fees.
