    How it works

    Three steps to a fair comparison

    From 23 December 2026, practices must price the Schedule 1 items they offer using the same 36 names (Art. 7(1); smaller practices from 23 March 2027). We line those prices up on one map.

    1. Search your area

      Type a postcode or town, or tap “Use my location”. Pick the treatment and your pet’s size band: cat, or one of five dog weight bands.

    2. Compare like with like

      Every practice uses the same 36 item names, so a castration here is a castration there. Pins show each price against the median of practices nearby.

    3. Check the source

      Every price links to the practice’s own published list and shows the date we checked it. Then contact the practice directly: we never stand in between.

    The CMA vet order

    What changes on 23 December 2026

    The Competition and Markets Authority's order brings in its rules in four steps. Each starts on the working day after its compliance date.

    1. Vet groups with 15 or more practices

      • Standard price list for the 36 Schedule 1 items, on every practice's website
      • Practice information, flea and worm treatment prices and pet care plan details
      • Cremation options and prices, shown with equal prominence

    2. Every other vet practice, and more for big groups

      • Smaller practices publish the same standard price list
      • Every practice says who owns it, and sets up a complaints process with free mediation
      • Big groups keep to the new cap on written prescription fees

    3. Vet groups with 15 or more practices

      • Written estimates for treatment likely to cost £500 or more
      • Itemised bills, and telling you that you can ask for a written prescription

    4. Smaller practices; all practices to RCVS Find a Vet

      • Written estimates, itemised bills and the prescription fee cap for smaller practices
      • Every practice sends its price list to the RCVS Find a Vet service, at the earliest (Art. 10)

    Our promise

    Independent, and it stays that way

    The Pet Bill is funded by clearly labelled ads, never by the practices it compares. How we get prices

    • No paid ranking

      Results are sorted by price or distance, never by who pays. No practice can pay to appear, to rank higher or to be shown more prominently.

    • Ads are labelled

      Any advert says “Ad” or “Advertisement”, and never sits inside a price list, between results or on a map pin.

    • Every price is sourced

      Each price carries its source link and the date we checked it. Prices we have not re-checked for 45 days are no longer shown as current.

    Common questions

    Where do the prices come from?

    From each vet practice's own published price list. Under the CMA Order, vet businesses must publish a standard price list on each practice's website. We collect those lists, and every price on this site links back to the page it came from, with the date we checked it.

    When will prices appear?

    Vet groups with 15 or more practices must publish their price lists from 23 December 2026, and smaller practices from 23 March 2027 (Art. 3 and 7). Prices appear here as practices publish them.

    Is The Pet Bill free to use?

    Yes. Current prices are free to search and compare, with no account needed.

    Can a vet pay to rank higher?

    No. Nobody pays to appear or to rank higher. Results are sorted by price, and any advert is labelled and kept out of price lists and results.

    Do prices include VAT?

    Yes. The CMA Order requires every price on a vet's price list to include VAT (Art. 7(2)(f)).

    What if a price is wrong, or I run a practice and want it removed?

    E-mail [email protected]. We correct prices at the next update, and remove a practice at the next update if its owner asks.
