Simply get in touch with your local branch or sign up online to get started.

Can I sign up by calling or visiting my practice?2024-08-15T16:00:57+00:00

Yes, of course! Signing up is easy online, but if you’d prefer to speak to one of our team then we can sort it all for you.

Do all of my pets need to be on the same plan?2024-08-15T16:01:18+00:00

No, you’re free to choose different plans for each pet if you feel that suits you best.

Is this still useful if I have insurance?2024-08-15T16:03:13+00:00

The Practice Plan is designed to complement pet insurance, covering vet visits, vaccinations, parasite preventatives such as fleas and worms, health checks and advice – elements that insurance generally misses. The plan is designed to adapt to your pet’s changing needs as they take their first steps to adulthood and throughout their senior years with you.

Can I switch between plans?2024-08-15T16:05:28+00:00

Yes, just speak to reception and they will make the change for you. If you’re switching to a lesser plan you may need to pay the difference between any products and services your pet has received and the amount you have paid for your plan.

Still have questions?

We’re happy to help, simply contact your local practice for advice.

Prefer not to sign-up online?

No problem, just drop in and we will sort it for you.
