I think it's worth asking if you have a free market at the point there's consolidation and it approaches monopoly/oligopoly territory.
- ty6853 1y agoThere is nothing even remotely close to a 'free market' in pet clinics. A free market would be me with a sign in the corner, offering to perform surgery on your dog, with my engineering degree printed on a piece of paper and anesthetics I manufactured in my basement. North America has severely limited the number of veterinarians and regulated the care, the monopolistic elements are likely largely a result of government intervention.
