🚨 We’re calling for changes to proposed messaging about buying veterinary medicines online.
The CMA is proposing veterinary practices display a poster telling clients they can buy veterinary medicines ’significantly cheaper’ online.
We're concerned the proposed message is overly simplistic, not neutral or factual, and could undermine trust between vets and clients.
So we're calling on the CMA to reconsider the wording and take a more balanced approach.
📅 The proposed Order is expected to come into effect from 23 September 2026, subject to finalisation.
