Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) sets professional standards and regulatory frameworks that shape the wider petcare ecosystem in the UK. Pet Gazette’s coverage of the RCVS focuses on policy announcements, practice standards, reforms to veterinary education and registration, and rulings that may impact retailers — especially where guidance intersects with the sale of health-related products, veterinary medicines, or advice provision. We also report on how RCVS developments influence the role of veterinary professionals in product recommendation and customer referral, offering insight for pet shops, distributors, and brand suppliers navigating this regulated space.
