Vet ownership disclosure
The CMA says veterinary groups will need to clearly display ownership information online, in premises, signage and communications once the relevant Order is in place.
What this means
- Ownership information matters because pet owners may not realise several local practices are part of the same group.
- CompareVetPricing shows ownership as a confidence-labelled dataset field, not as a legal finding.
- Practices can submit corrections where ownership classification is wrong or out of date.
Timing
The CMA guidance says ownership transparency is due 6 months from when the CMA Order is in place.
