:Make vets affordable to everyone again,
Vet bills are up by more than 60% between 2015 and 2023, risen by another 5-10% since then. Minimum cost for a vet visit is usually £300. Only the very wealthy can afford to take their pets to the vets. We need affordable vet care for all animals in every household, no matter their income.
