UK vet prices are about to become public. We're building the place to compare them.
A new legal order means every vet practice in the UK must publish what it charges for consultations, vaccinations, neutering, dentistry and more, in a standard format. We'll gather every price list in one place so you can see what your local practices charge before you book.
Be first to see the prices
One email when the comparison goes live, plus the first analysis of what UK vets actually charge. Nothing else.

In March 2026 the Competition and Markets Authority finished a two-year investigation into the UK veterinary market. It found that prices had risen far faster than inflation, that six large groups own most practices, and that most owners had no way to compare what practices charge. In September 2026 it made a legal order to fix that.
| What practices must do | Large groups | All other practices |
|---|---|---|
| Publish a standard price list online, one click from the homepage, with single prices for a fixed list of common services across six pet weight bands | 22 Dec 2026 | 22 Mar 2027 |
| Publish prices for their most-sold flea, tick and worm treatments, with a link to registered online pharmacies | 22 Dec 2026 | 22 Mar 2027 |
| Make clear which group owns the practice, on the website and at the premises | 22 Mar 2027 | 22 Mar 2027 |
| Cap the fee for a written prescription at £21.40, and offer one at every consultation where medicine is prescribed | 22 Mar 2027 | 22 Sep 2027 |
| Give written estimates for treatment over £500 and itemised bills | 22 Jun 2027 | 22 Sep 2027 |
"Large groups" means businesses with fifteen or more practices. That covers IVC Evidensia, CVS, VetPartners, Medivet, Linnaeus and Vets4Pets, which between them run well over half of UK practices. Their prices go public first.
What we will show you
- Prices near you. Enter a postcode, pick a service and your pet's weight band, and see what every practice within reach charges.
- Who owns your vet. Many practices still trade under their original local name. We'll show the group behind it.
- What a written prescription saves you. Medicines are often far cheaper from a registered online pharmacy. We'll show the prescription fee next to the medicine price so you can decide.
- How your area compares. Regular analysis of the cheapest and most expensive places to own a pet, and how the big groups compare with independents.
We don't sell insurance, we don't run a vet practice, and no practice can pay to appear higher in our results. We rank by distance or price, nothing else. Here is how we make money.
Why this matters
The CMA found that pet owners spent £6.7 billion on vet services in 2024, that prices rose 63% between 2016 and 2023 against general inflation of 32%, and that practices owned by large groups charged around 18% more than independents. It estimated that owners were losing around £1 billion over five years to a lack of competition. More than 40% of practice websites showed no prices at all when the investigation checked in 2025.
Once prices are public, comparison becomes possible. That is what this site is for.
