Make it law that animal charities must obtain vets notes regardless of health
Make it a legal requirement that all rehoming and rescue charities obtain vets notes from previous owners when dogs are given up. This will show a full report of the animals health to ensure what the previous owner has disclosed is correct.
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.
Require vets to inform owners if medicine is available cheaper elsewhere
I would like Parliament to legislate that any agency issuing prescriptions for animals must advise people if a cheaper option is available to purchase from another source. And if they do not do that people should, by providing evidence, be reimbursed the difference by the prescription provider.
Veterinary costs remain unaffordable for pet owners
Pet owners report difficulty affording veterinary care, with costs remaining high despite recent regulatory reforms. New transparency requirements for veterinary pricing are being implemented.
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.
