Azalea Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 It’s great that you posted this but I think this should be in the General ED issues thread as they are a local company.

Mystic Mog Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 I put it here because IVC are nationwide. Perhaps admin will move it, if they think appropriate.

There is a thread on this Forum called Neighbourhood Vet overcharging. Perhaps you could put a link there.

They operate 2,500 clinics across 20 countries and they bought out hundreds of private practices in the UK and put the vets on performance contracts.

It says that it’s been six months, and a new one could be made but that one had one of the vets from Neighbourhood Vets on giving her side of the story. I think it’s a very appropriate place to link this report.

tiddles Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 But it’s not just neighbourhood vet - medivet are also a chain that have swallowed up local practices and inflated prices… Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/360243-vets-overcharging/#findComment-1704572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 It sickens me - it means that people cannot afford to consult a vet when they are worried. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/360243-vets-overcharging/#findComment-1704576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
