00:02New rules from the UK competition watchdog will cap written prescription fees at £21
00:07for pet owners. The news also means that vets must publish clear price lists for all treatments.
00:14The Competition and Markets Authority says a new online price comparison tool will help people find
00:20better value services and boost competition between practices. The watchdog's review found
00:26vets' fees rising at almost twice the rate of inflation, affecting households with animals
00:31needing ongoing care. Under the reforms, practices must also say if they are part of a larger corporate
00:37group. The CMA says changes will start coming into force later this year for owners too.
