Consultation description

In May 2024 we launched a market investigation into the supply of veterinary services for household pets. We have now published our provisional decision report. This sets out our provisional findings with respect to our competition assessment, and our proposed remedies.

We now invite you to give reasons why these provisional findings and the proposed remedies should not become final, or should be varied.
