Vet Price Comparison

Last reviewed: 14 September 2026

The Funding Order and RCVS funding undertakings were published on 20 August 2026. The substantive remedies Order and related RCVS undertakings were still being finalised as of this review (statutory deadline 23 September 2026). Where later compliance dates are planned rather than in force, we say so.

What it means for pet owners

The CMA package is designed to help you see prices, ownership, and treatment costs more clearly before and during care. It does not replace clinical advice, and it does not guarantee that every practice will charge the same — or less.

Vet Price Comparison is an independent UK comparison service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, operated by, or part of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) or the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).

  • Greater access to price information

    Over the compliance window, more practices should publish clearer price lists for common services. That makes it easier to check consultation and treatment fees before you book.

  • Easier comparison — eventually via multiple channels

    The CMA package includes RCVS-hosted practice data and sharing with approved third parties. Until that pipeline is live, independent sites like ours continue to show published prices we can already verify.

  • Clearer ownership and service context

    Group ownership and out-of-hours arrangements should become easier to see, which helps you understand who you are dealing with and what happens outside normal hours.

  • What to look for when comparing

    Check what is included (for example anaesthesia or post-op checks on surgery prices), how fresh the figure is, and whether the label is verified, practice-submitted, or user-submitted. Confirm with the practice before booking.

  • Cheapest is not always best

    The remedies improve transparency; they do not set clinical quality standards or guarantee lower prices. Location, urgency, clinical need, and what is bundled into a fee all matter.
