Story angles
Not sure where to start? Here are some of the topics we're well-placed to speak to.
The true cost of vet care
What does a routine consultation, vaccination, or spay actually cost in the UK? We can show what clinics publicly charge across thousands of practices.
Regional price variation
Vet prices vary significantly by region. We can compare costs in London vs the North, urban vs rural, corporate chains vs independent practices.
Vet industry consolidation
The UK vet market has seen major consolidation. We can explore what that means for pricing transparency and consumer choice.
Price transparency in healthcare
Why can you compare prices for hotels and flights but not vet care? We're building the infrastructure to change that.
