We are incredibly proud of the work our clinical teams do every day. The rise in vet bills over the past decade reflects major advances in capabilities, diagnostics and treatments, and a response to customer demands for advanced care for their pets, and significant increases in operating costs. Over the last 5 years, IVC Evidensia has invested over £200m in the UK in our clinics, equipment, and training our people, and invested significantly in increased salaries and benefits.
Our Pet Health Club is a great value subscription model, focused on preventative care. Dog owners can currently save up to £419 per year, with cat owners saving up to £350, on consultations, vaccinations, and routine treatments.
We have long advocated for a complete overhaul of the outdated Veterinary Surgeons Act given the advances of the profession, and are pleased the CMA are recommending this as a priority for the government. While we already comply with a number of the CMA’s proposals, the full package will inevitably increase the administrative burden for the veterinary sector.
