About this webinar
The CMA has been looking into the veterinary services market for household pets since September 2023. We have now set out our provisional decision that there are competition problems in this market.
Where we find competition problems, we must consider measures (‘remedies’) to address them. In the provisional decision we have proposed a package of remedies, which we're now consulting on. We will consider responses to our consultation, and any relevant new evidence, before publishing a final decision.
This webinar helped veterinary professionals understand the proposed remedies package and what it might mean for you.
The webinar focused on:
what you may need to change if our proposed remedies package goes ahead
answering questions put to us by the BVA and BVNA on behalf of its members and the wider veterinary sector
answering your questions (attendees were invited to submit questions in advance and during the session)
what will happen next in the CMA’s investigation, and how you can share your views with us
We have provided answers to the questions asked by veterinary professionals when registering for the webinar and during the session, which can be found in the documents section of this page.
