Transparency, Fairness, and Trust: Our Response to the Recent CMA Report

At Tribe Vets, we’ve always believed that great veterinary care goes hand-in-hand with honesty, transparency, and trust. Following the recent Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) report on veterinary practices across the UK, we want to reassure our Oxfordshire community that we’ve always upheld the high standards of openness and fairness the CMA is calling for.

We understand how important it is for pet owners to know exactly what they’re paying for, and to feel confident that their pets are receiving the very best care without hidden costs. That’s why:

• All our prices are clearly listed on our website, so you can review them at any time before booking.
• We always provide written estimates for any procedures or treatments, so you’ll never face unexpected bills.
• We will always offer a written prescription if you’d like to buy your pet’s medicines elsewhere or online, giving you complete flexibility and choice.
• Above all, we strive to keep our prices fair and reasonable, ensuring high-quality care remains accessible to everyone in our community.

We also want to emphasise that Tribe Vets is fully independent - not part of a large chain or corporate group. Dodi and Alex are a local family who fully own and run Tribe Vets, which means that we can guarantee that every decision we make is focused on what’s best for our patients, our clients, and our community, rather than shareholders. Our freedom to run a practice focused on you and your pet allows us to stay true to our values, offer a personal service, and build genuine, lasting relationships with the people and pets we care for.

We welcome the CMA’s focus on improving transparency in veterinary care - it’s a step that strengthens trust between vets and clients nationwide. For us, this report is a reminder of the values we’ve built Tribe Vets around since day one: compassion, clarity, and community.
