Recent news coverage has focused on the CMA report into the Veterinary Market and the transparency of veterinary fees.
We would like to take this opportunity to reassure our clients about our values and the way we operate.
At Ribble Vets, we are proud to be an independent, locally owned practice providing veterinary care for companion animals, farm animals and equines across Penwortham, Wesham and Leyland.
Our practice has been established since the 1930s, serving generations of families and farms in our community.
🐾 We remain fully independent and are not owned or influenced by any corporate veterinary group.
🐾 We provide our own Out of Hours emergency service, ensuring that your animal is always cared for by one of our own vets with full access to their clinical history.
🐾 We are committed to clarity and fairness in our pricing and endeavour to provide estimates for procedures and tests in advance.
🐾 Our veterinary surgeons and nurses have complete clinical freedom to recommend the best course of action for your animal, without sales targets or commissions.
🐾 We are regularly inspected by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and are proud that all our surgeries are accredited.
Every decision we make is guided by our core principle: to combine experience and expertise with compassion and integrity, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your animals at a fair price.
Many of the recommendations that the CMA are proposing are already implemented; however, if there are any additional recommendations that we do not have in place, we would look to include those in our working practices in the future.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. Together, we will uphold the high standards of care that Ribble Vets has provided to our community for nearly a century. 💕
