The Consumer Watchdog is looking at the Veterinary Industry and have been asking for feedback from the industry and service users, they're alarmed by the high costs being charged. The watchdog is also looking at the corporations that have been buying up private practices in the UK. For instance Assisi bought up a range of veterinary practices and Hollings products, then Assisi was bought up by an American company that develops technology equipment for the veterinary industry. So for instance, the vet closest to us is owned by the American company. That isn't our vet, I chose a small privately owned practice for my dog.
