Useful context

This is the group where Nestlé appears in the ownership structure, but Nestlé is one shareholder rather than the sole owner.

Questions worth asking

Ask how local prices, referral routes and prescription policies are decided.

These are suggested questions for your own enquiries. They do not imply any practice is doing something wrong.

Ownership data caveat

Ownership structures can change as groups acquire or divest practices. The data on this page is from available sources and may not reflect the most recent corporate changes. If you believe information is incorrect, please report incorrect information.

Ownership alone does not determine clinical quality, price or suitability for your pet. Use ownership as one input alongside price, services, opening hours, reviews and your own experience.
