Require vets to provide free lifesaving care for pets
If the pet is in desperate need of care, and the pet's life is on the line, the vets should have to give the animal free medical care, so the pet does not die.
Provide a veterinary service funded by additional tax contributions
I want the government to consider introducing a voluntary additional tax to fund a free of charge veterinary service similar to the NHS.

Veterinary fees have increased substantially, making pet care unaffordable for many people. The CMA has announced reforms requiring vets to display costs transparently from September.
Regulate and reform veterinary care
We call on the UK Government to establish regulatory oversight of veterinary care. This should include written treatment plans, itemised bills, consent safeguards, and accountability for corporate-owned practices which we believe profit from distress.
