A veterinary practice in Barnsley (Yorkshire and The Humber). The facts below come from VetGuard's practice records, compiled from public sources.
Following its market investigation into veterinary services, the CMA published its final report on 24 March 2026 and is due to make its legally binding Order by 23 September 2026. Under the CMA's stated remedies, every UK practice will be required to publish and maintain:
These duties phase in from late 2026 for the large corporate groups and through 2027 for most independent practices; some exemptions apply (including charities). This section describes the CMA's published timeline and applies to every practice — it is not an assessment of this practice.
On VetGuard's records, Abbey Veterinary Group is part of CVS Group. Ownership information is VetGuard's own research, compiled from public sources — it is not an official register, and group structures change. Under the CMA's new rules, every practice will be required to disclose its ownership clearly to clients. If this record is wrong, email hello@friam.co and we'll correct it within one working day.
The same as for every UK veterinary practice: once the CMA's Order is made (due 23 September 2026), practices will be required to publish a price list for core services, provide written estimates for treatment expected to cost £500 or more, issue itemised bills, run a formal complaints process (acknowledging complaints within 5 working days), and disclose their ownership. The duties phase in from late 2026 for large groups and through 2027 for most independents. This is the CMA's published timeline — not an assessment of this practice.
