PAW PLAN
MAINTAINING HEALTH AND WELLBEING FOR LIFE
Our Prevention and Wellness (PAW) Plan is designed to help our loyal clients reduce and spread the cost of essential routine veterinary care, as well as offering members fantastic discounts on other services they may require.
The plan is easy to join and will save on average around a THIRD, compared with the normal cost, of routine preventative healthcare*. Regular health checks with our vets and qualified nurses give you peace of mind that problems will be picked up early, giving your pet the best chance of living a happy, healthy life. The plan is not insurance for the unexpected but is a convenient and affordable monthly payment plan to protect your pet from preventable disease and discomfort. Check out the bottom of this page to see how insurance and the Plans can work together.
We have PAW plans for all sizes of dogs, cats, rabbits and even small furries. It doesn’t matter how old your pet; our plans are designed to suit all ages. If you have an animal that we don’t currently have a plan for, please let us know and we’ll work towards creating a new one!
*Based on 2017 prices for vaccinations, standard monthly flea & quarterly worm prevention, microchipping, neutering and non-routine annual spend across all species covered in the plans

How does being a Plan member help with costs for pets that are already insured?
Our plans are designed to complement, not replace, insurance. For minor injuries and illnesses, where the cost of treatment falls below your insurance excess so no insurance claim is made, being part of a Plan will save you money directly. For larger vet bills the savings can make insurance with a limited ‘ceiling’ last longer and, for VIP members, you may not even have an excess to pay. If you have any questions about how the Plans would work for you and your pet, please speak to us at the surgery.
