Rising veterinary costs, increasing premiums and concerns about transparency have pushed the pet insurance sector into the spotlight, with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) introducing major reforms aimed at improving fairness for pet owners.

The CMA’s recent veterinary market reforms include mandatory price lists, prescription fee caps, ownership transparency for large veterinary groups and the creation of price comparison tools to help pet owners make more informed decisions.

For pet insurers, these reforms do not create new regulatory obligations, but they do raise customer expectations and competitive standards. Insurers that respond by improving transparency, strengthening trust and embedding more data driven decision making will be better placed to deliver fairer outcomes and compete sustainably in a more open market.

Insurers need to strengthen how they assess risk, manage claims and detect fraud. More effective and responsible use of data will be central to achieving this.

This report highlights why insurers that embrace data driven approaches will be best placed to build trust, maintain profitability, grow market share and support a fairer future for pet insurance.

Topics covered:
• Implications of CMA reforms.
• Risk assessment.
• Claims management.
• Fraud prevention.
• Building trust, maintaining profitability and growing market share.
