In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses a significant development in the veterinary services market in the United Kingdom. Cloud 9 Vets, a national provider of at-home pet euthanasia and in-home veterinary care, is urging the Competition and Markets Authority to include at-home euthanasia as a separate entry on the mandatory vet price list. This request aims to distinguish between euthanasia services provided at a veterinary practice and those conducted at a pet owner's home, as they involve different costs and service levels. For more information about Cloud 9 Vets' services, visit their website at https://www.cloud9vets.co.uk.

The Competition and Markets Authority's draft Veterinary Services Market Investigation Order 2026 currently requires practices to publish prices for 36 defined services, but it does not differentiate between in-practice and at-home euthanasia. Cloud 9 Vets argues that this lack of distinction hinders pet owners' ability to make informed decisions. Their research indicates that a significant number of pet owners are unaware of the availability of at-home euthanasia services, and many express a preference for having a plan in place for end-of-life care. Cloud 9 Vets has also requested that the Competition and Markets Authority allow veterinary businesses to meet cremation disclosure requirements by linking to a list of regional crematoria, rather than naming a single provider, to ensure accuracy for clients. The consultation on the draft Order remains open until the 20th of August 2026.
